Reviews for The Velveteen Rabbit
1 - 7 (sorted by rotten rating; UK critics are listed first)
Rabbit has a full, gushing heart it wants to share with the audience, and released in the wake of a thousand obnoxious fart-happy distractions, its inherent gentleness and ability to remain inspired by kindness is wholeheartedly welcome.

The live-action cast may be unknowns, but they're effective enough; the 2-D (drawn and digital) animation is winning; and the story will engross any 8-and-younger with the patience to watch it.
02/27/09
A family drama, based on the popular children's book, about how loving makes us real.
03/19/09
A low-key charmer that's bound to enchant small children and amuse their parents during many hours of repeat viewings.

Top CriticWhile it isn't exactly a classic, it expresses the power of hope in the imaginary world and the importance of communicating our love for one another in the real world.
02/27/09
Family film lacks frills but has sweet message for kids.
