Review of Playmobil: The Movie (2019) by Jordan Mintzer for The Hollywood Reporter — 07 Aug 2019

To the director’s credit, the animated sequences are richly rendered, making the most of the rather stiff and plain-looking originals (though, if you want to get nitpicky, an early gag poking fun at the fact that Playmobil legs are unbendable is soon forgotten) and offering up a plethora of settings that help compensate for the lack of good writing.
