Rock Dog's reviews
Media reviews
Los Angeles Times
It doesn't gel and lacks the kind of visual kinetic energy we?ve come to expect from films of this ilk.
New York Times
The film (...) keeps its animation simple and its story lines clear, which makes it reliable fare for the 10-and-younger set. The only disappointment, given the subject, is that it?s not a full-on musical ? it has musical flourishes, yes, but nothing as memorable as ?Let It Go.?
The Wrap
Rock Dog stays firmly in the realm of the pleasant but unremarkable.
The Hollywood Reporter
Buried beneath all the increasingly tired visual gags and well-worn character conventions is a workable message about following one?s muse, but director Ash Brannon, a Pixar veteran, along with at least eight other writers, seem content simply to lay down the same old licks.
The Washington Post
Intermittently diverting as it may be, the movie bears all the earmarks of a cobbled-together, made-by-committee product, poorly aimed at its tween-and-younger target audience in look, tone, music and story.
Variety
'Rock Dog' is entirely inoffensive, and its low-key pace and no-frills animation style might come as a bit of a relief in contrast to so many frenetic kids movie spectacles.
