Polygon Caroline Siede

While a lot of modern kids’ movies (especially those based on toys or apps) feel crass and cheap, Playmobil is heartfelt and earnest. It doesn’t have much to offer childfree moviegoers, and it does mostly feel like The Lego Movie with the serial numbers filed off. But it’s the sort of film that will keep kids entertained without driving their parents crazy. Read full review

It is a manic, hit and miss affair complete with slapstick antics and wisecracking one-liners. Read full review

Playmobil: The Movie isn’t as funny as some of the direct-to-video Lego-related movies, either, and that’s very much the field it competes in, theatrical release or not. As children’s entertainment goes, this is a harmless distractor, but it’s also poorly conceived at every story turn, unable to even stick to a particular generic message to make up for its extremely basic humor.

It does not even work as a commercial, never showing us why these toys could be especially fun to play with. Read full review

The animation’s not bad, the songs aren’t much, the jokes are even less. Tiny, tiny tykes might find something to like about it. But long-review-short here — it’s too dull to sit through, too noisy to sleep through. Read full review

During the holiday season, when kids are being aggressively marketed to by every toy company who wants the top spot on Santa’s list, families deserve a movie that isn’t one long toy commercial. Read full review

This is a vastly inferior toy-to-film IP expansion, with duller songs, dumber jokes, and forgettable voice work. Read full review

Of cource its a pretty childish and really stupid cartoon or movie or whatever. But what do u want wrom it? Aranoffsky's wisy horror? Or feministic dressup like in Little women? Nice attraction for kids allitle younger than lego audience, but equivalently peppy and entertaining.

Little kids in the family liked it a lot, and I thought it was fun. By the way, read that Playmobil Movie was in the works conceptually way before the Lego Movie, but there were some issues that caused major delays. So although it was not as strong as the Lego Movie, it was not trying to copy it.

WHAT’S THE POINT!?
Literally, The only reason this movie exists is to cash in on the success of The LEGO Movie and fails miserably.

The worst movie of the year after Brightburn and maybe the worst animated movie of the decade next to Emoji.
