"Cartoon Saloon's latest soul-soothing and modestly enchanting gift to the world."
 
"Another smash from Cartoon Saloon, at once heartily funny and heartfelt. With this and The Breadwinner, director Nora Twomey is now two-for-two."
 
"Absolutely gorgeous and deeply charming, whipping along with storytelling speed, giving Cartoon Saloon another creative triumph to go with the rest of their gems."
 
"This Netflix release has its own distinctive style, and should entertain youngsters who, like Elmer, are both in search of adventure and trying to make sense of the adult world."
 
"A winningly sweet-natured, visually transporting adaptation."
 
"A film of gentle but transporting pleasures."
 
"Visually dazzling and emotionally resonant, though likely to appeal primarily to youngsters and genre buffs."
