The King and the Mockingbird Ratings & Reviews
Alternate Ending
Tim Brayton
An exhausting, exciting use of animation's unique power of moving caricature.
Epoch Times
Joe Bendel
Decades after it was completed for the final time, it still feels oddly contemporary, while evoking the joys of old-school animation.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
"The King and the Mockingbird" just might be the best animated film of the year.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
On a basic level, The King and the Mockingbird is a fun fantasy. But to the two poets who first imagined it, it must have felt like a repository for all the madness of a still-smoldering world.
Entertainment Weekly
Joe McGovern
The film is suffused with a subversive attitude toward the rich and clueless, epitomized by a king at war with a talking bird.
The Dissolve
Tasha Robinson
It's recognizably the work of an idiosyncratic artist dealing in bizarre caricature, and exploring weird ideas.
rec.arts.movies.reviews
Louis Proyect
A great satire against monarchic pretensions by artists reared in the 1930s agitprop tradition.
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
What a tortured path "The King and the Mockingbird" has taken to reach theaters in the United States, and what a treat it is for us to be able to experience it now.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
A catalog of the movie's pleasures barely does justice to this lost-and-found delight.
Film Journal International
Daniel Eagan
By turns lyrical and biting, winsome and cynical, the movie borrows freely from other artists while forging its own idiosyncratic path.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
It's dreamy, poetic and not to be missed.
Slant Magazine
Sean Nam
If the film were to propose a mandate for animation, it would be what the medium's etymology has longed suggested: to make the inanimate full of life.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
Grimault initiated the project in '48, but his charming fable quickly fell afoul of troubles even kings and robots can't stand up to: rights issues.
