    David Stratton, The Australian Not only spectacularly well made but frequently very funny. Full review External link
  3. Positive review
    Derek Adams, Time Out Monsters vs Aliens is skilfully animated and spasmodically funny, but you get the impression the film's seven (!) writers ran out of ideas two-thirds of the way through. Full review External link
  4. Positive review
    Daniel Etherington, Film4 A comprehensively entertaining package. If there's a lack of originality, the film is bolstered by the sheer verve of the animation and effects. Full review External link
  5. Positive review
    Wendy Ide, Times [UK] Engagingly nerdy movie in-jokes are clearly a step in the right direction for DreamWorks after the rather crass and bombastic approach of the Shrek movies. Full review External link
