Reaction: Ouch! The studio hasn't made a lot of animated films, but aside from The Banded Ants series, they have all been pretty massive failures at the box office. This is only writer Wesley Campbell's second film for the studio, but his films have already lost a combined $221 million (his first film was the animated Saga).

"Not even the excellent voice cast and fun animation can save Bone from being a messy, incoherent film with far too episodic of a plot, if you can call it a plot." - Lisa Winger, Newsday

"The story may be all over the place, but the characters are fun and the voice cast well-selected. I'd probably have more kind things to say about the film if it weren't so relentlessly long." - Brian Edelstein, Time Out

"The concept of Bone is fun, but the story is directionless and meanders from one aside to another for a very lengthy run-time without any strong goal to consistently push the story forward." - Charles Yost, Oregonian

Rated PG for scenes of fantasy action violence
