mushy and sentimental - Wolf Children review by rb
Really didn't like this. Very little story line with sentimental voice over. Gave up on it half way through. Even the kids thought it dull.

Beautiful animation - Wolf Children review by CP Customer
I loved it - beautiful animation, interesting characters, and a jolly nice story. It kept my attention throughout, and I really can't understand the reviews that said it was dull. Mother falls in love, has children, father dies, mother moves to the country, children develop their own potential. What's not to appreciate? I suggest those who don't like USA voices dubbed, then watch with Japanese soundtrack and English subtitles - I find that fare more rewarding.

Disappointing - Wolf Children review by JP
I had expected more. Even given that it's a fairy story the characters voice over and plot are unconvincing. Sadly it's a very far cry from some of the truly magical Japanese anime.
