The Globe and Mail (Toronto) by Barry Hertz

The plot, for instance, doesn’t make all that much sense, what with its heroic space chimps and evil space apes and sly space foxes, all of whom don’t seem to realize what a half-baked narrative they’re operating in.

Variety by Joe Leydon

It’s hard to imagine that even the least demanding of tykes will ask for a second sampling of this thoroughly second-rate animated feature, which has all the charm, and twice the volume, of a barking dog.

The A.V. Club by Katie Rife

As far as animated films go, the script for Spark: A Space Tail is clunky but inoffensive, falling far short of your average Pixar production creatively but largely sidestepping attempts at tongue-in-cheek “adult” humor in favor of groan-worthy puns à la the title.

Los Angeles Times by Kimber Myers

“Spark” should earn points for originality, but it never invests in establishing its world or its characters in a way that engages viewers.
