Reaction: Finally some solid numbers at the box office this season, which got off to a rough start in Round 1. This is the fourth profitable animated film in a row for writer Jacob Jones (not counting his producing role on The Big Top).
"The animation may not be the best at times (almost straight-to-DVD if you ask me), but the story is nice enough, as is it's message, with a more than talented cast makes SCRAPPY a must-watch for family across the board." - Tiffany Lynch, Knoxville News Sentinel
"Scrappy's globe-trotting adventure comes across as disjointed and, in the end, pointless. The script drags viewers through a tiresome, repetitive journey that feels as unfulfilling as its protagonist's search for purpose. The characters were entertaining, but the story needed more work - especially the ending, which I found frustrating and rendered the film's entire adventure aimless." - Dave Manning, Ridgefield Press
"Scrappy presents a mostly formulaic storyline filled with endearing, but one-dimensional, characters. The final message of the story, while heartfelt, lacks subtlety. I did appreciate the wacky, adventurous tone of the story. The film is just missing that one extra kernel to push it into the realm of great." - Charles Yost, Oregonian
Rated PG for some mild action and thematic elements
