2/5

It's a film to possibly employ to distract your kids for a few minutes if they've already seen absolutely every other option.

2/5

This is a cobbled-together, plotless mess from director Leopoldo Aguilar, completely lacking in the internal logic that is essential for the successful creation of a fantasy world.

2/5

This surreal but shonky Mexican animation makes the clichd link between monstrous transformation and adolescence and does absolutely nothing new with it.

1/5

Leopoldo Aguilar's picture is animation of the not at all cuddly kind, complete with scenes of an exploding frog, electrocution, female characters in shapes that make Jessica Rabbit look like Twiggy, and clunky to non-existent humour.

2.5/5

The characters present specific variations depending on their personality and function within this journey of self-discovery, odyssey that has already been approached many times in the cinema...

Monster Island... turns out to be the sort of dark, gothic cartoon you might make if you've been watching too much Tim Burton but haven't got his talent.

Really bad graphics and didn't hold my interest at all. Usually I like a good kids animation but this was just terrible. Not sure if it's because we're all used to Pixar and the likes but it was in no way comparible. A shame as I was looking forward to watching it. It was just messy.
