Critic Reviews

80 LA Weekly Robert Abele
Its mix of twisted laughs and surrealist visuals smacks of something you’d see between Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Harvey Birdman on the Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim hours.
80 Los Angeles Times Robert Lloyd
Deep, dark and funny.
80 Slate Dana Stevens
The show's overall effect falls somewhere between dystopic science fiction and the cheerfully sicko sensibility of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim lineup. But unlike, say, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, I Am Not an Animal styles itself as social satire.
50 The New York Times Ned Martel
Connoisseurs of animation and British comedy will delight in the warped innovations of "Animal," but to those with humbler tastes and less patience the series will induce more yawns than howls.
