    A fun and empowering adventure for young children

    This film tells the story of a young crayon who is often afraid. She is chased by a monster into Color City, and havoc ensues. She unwillingly enters an adventure that demonstrates her true skills and positive qualities, and along with other crayons, they become courageous heroes of Color City.

    "The Hero of Color City" is cheerfully coloured with the brightest colours on the palette. The story is aimed at young children, and it provides a not so scary adventure for young children. It also tells a nice tale of not being afraid. I find the story empowering, and it can even serve as a role model for children who are afraid for whatever reasons. No one is too little to achieve great things!

    Deserved to do better than it did

    This movie deserved to do better than it did. It is colourful, charming and touching. A must- watch for kids and kids at heart. It is great for keeping kids entertained without making parents want to join the circus. I may not recommend it to a two-year old, but it would be good for a six. With all the awful Saturday Disney around I can't see why this movie did so poorly

    Great toddler film

    My three and four (now five) year olds LOVE this movie. It's terrific for little ones, and I prefer this to many more popular and money making films that cast a wider net that targets a broader age spectrum but also exposes little ones to more fearful subjects and tidal waves of verbage that they don't understand...and vocabulary/behaviors that I don't want them to imitate. I was surprised to read that this is the all-time lowest grossing animated feature film, but there you go. We watch it on Netflix.

    Average film for young children

    This film is average baby sitting filler / bargain bin DVD quality in regards to plot. It meets all the criteria to keep preschoolers watching. Don't expect to enjoy it if you're an adult but is harmless enough. The quality of animation is basic but it falls moreso in review due to the basic plot. My kids aged seven,five and three seemed entertained enough by it and I'm not a 30 yr old neckbeard who expects a children's film to also keep adults entertained with subtext and highly developed themes in children's flicks. They are what they are. Pixar quality films like Toy Story 3 are rare for a reason. Good to see Craig Ferguson getting work though.

    The shameless Toy Story rip-off

    This is one of the worst movies from 2014 i would prefer to watch Big Hero 6 and Planes: Fire And Rescue better and i even feel sorry for well known voice actors such as Owen Wilson, Elizabeth Daily, Sean Astin, Christinna Ricci, Wayne Brady and Rosie Perez i feel bad for the people who had to appear in this abomination, come on they could have been in better tv shows and movies and Owen Wilson should be working with Lightning Mcqueen from the Cars franchise, Wayne Brady should be working on the Sofia The First franchise, Sean Astin should be working on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise and Rosie Perez and the 2 other girls should be working on better things. Oh man poor 6 persons should have been wasting they're lives.
