Rock Dog Ratings & Reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
This draggy, computer-animated feature exhibits neither bark nor bite in its portrayal of a sheep-guarding, guitar-playing Himalayan mastiff who has his head perpetually in the clouds.
Forbes
Luke Y. Thompson
...we deserve better than a cut-rate Kung Fu Panda/Zootopia/Yellow Submarine mash-up that's substantially inferior to everything it apes.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
All this is every bit as silly and innocuous as its sounds, and it goes down, if not like honey, than like very finely spun cotton candy.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Despite lessons for kiddos about following your dreams, the film's humor most often falls flat.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
It took nine people to write the cheap-looking animated film Rock Dog, and not one of them ever stopped to consider the fact that the dog of the title never rocks.
Common Sense Media
Renee Schonfeld
Animated comedy is old-fashioned and fun; some peril.
Tri-City Herald
Gary Wolcott
Not rocket science or much of a rocker. There are plenty of laughs and that's especially true if you know anything about sheep. A great cast has a lot of fun with this one.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
A sweet-natured but awfully clumsy animated tale. Best for very young viewers.
Variety
Andrew Barker
Taking an ode to the power of musical rebellion and running it through the mill of committee-thinking winds up being no rock and roll fun.
New York Daily News
Ariel Scotti
Brannon's slapstick comedy of errors works its tail off to entertain, but it's just too doggone long and short on laugh-out-loud moments.
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
Bodi is a likeable hero and it is fun to see his cheery optimism paired with the burned-out, cynical Angus.
TheWrap
Robert Abele
Never exactly soars as original entertainment, although it avoids the frantic, cheeky, attention-deficit ethos of so much mass-marketed kid fare.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
Once again, Chinese and American filmmakers pool their resources, only to find that having more money doesn't make it talk any more persuasively.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Jody Mitori
When there are so many sophisticated animated movies coming to the theaters, it's likely that "Rock Dog" may soon be forgotten.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
There's just not enough on the screen to buy into "Rock Dog." It doesn't gel, and lacks the kind of visual kinetics and energy we've come to expect from films of this ilk.
Dallas Morning News
Dawn Burkes
Rock Dog is memorable enough, especially that not-bad song that eventually ties everything together, and it goes down easy. Just like popcorn.
Washington Post
Jane Horwitz
Intermittently diverting as it may be, the movie bears all the earmarks of a cobbled-together, made-by-committee product, poorly aimed at its tween-and-younger target audience in look, tone, music and story.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
Too lackluster to be praised highly, yet too benign to be excoriated, "Rock Dog" is the perfect family film for a rainy day with no other options.
Boston Globe
Tom Russo
It's one randomly diverting flourish after the next as Bodi makes the journey from his cloistered home to the big city and potential ax-shredding stardom.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
The film, based on a Chinese graphic novel and directed by Ash Brannon, keeps its animation simple and its story lines clear, which makes it reliable fare for the 10-and-younger set.
