1. Whatever it lacks in heroic reach it more than makes up for in sociable personality and devastatingly expressive animation from the Disney masters, making it an underground classic that's impressively stood the test of time.
2. It's also got great knockabout visual gags, mercifully little cutey-poo sentiment, and reasonable songs.
3. It's a slight tale, of course, and incredibly short, but the characters and songs are pretty much perfect viewing time and again.
4. Ridiculously entertaining.
5. A serious disappointment, recommended only for inveterate Disney fans and very young people.
6. With an ensemble cast of memorable characters, catchy tunes and lots of zaniness, it's hard not to love the Kipling adaptation.
7. The literally last-minute stab at domestic foreplay is simply unbelievable, but Baloo's lip-licking post-mortem ("I still think he'd a made one swell bear") is what sticks.
8. Reflects a conservative, imperialist, 'don't mix the races/species' worldview. Yet it's also about friendship and truthfulness, and it's just plain fun.
9. The roughness around the edges of The Jungle Book are part of what makes it such a classic.
10. ...the characters, music, and animation more than make up for any shortcomings, and the result is pleasant entertainment for everyone.
Consensus: With expressive animation, fun characters, and catchy songs, The Jungle Book endures as a crowd-pleasing Disney classic.
Q: 1. Crystal is a miraculous rush of innovation and storytelling patience, and, in the last 25 years, the film has grown from a 1982 misfire, to a cult wonder, to a bona-fide classic that's timeless in stature and masterful in execution.
2. An extraordinary, often mesmerizing achievement of design and performance that's held back by an underdeveloped script and a milquetoast leading character.
3. Os personagens săo bem realizados e animados, mas o roteiro, além de plagiar O Senhor dos Anéis, é burocrático e pouco envolvente.
4. Points to the Henson team for trying to broaden the scope of their creatures -- and there's little denying that this particular flick still seems to hold up pretty darn well.
5. A fantastic, but more intense Muppet adventure.
6. The Skeksis, evil creatures seeking to solidify their power, retain their ability to frighten young children, and no amount of exposure to modern media seems adequate as a defence.
7. A distant, uninvolving experience … characters and emotions, even by the archetypal standards of high fantasy, never come to life, and the overarching mythology seems too self-consciously contrived.
8. A wonderfully invented world full of characters that transcend their puppet limitations thanks to the energy and creativity of the Jim Hansen and Frank Oz team of puppeteers and voice actors
9. You have to love a fantasy whose greatest peril is the Bog of Eternal Stench.
10. This ersatz Tolkien with puppets looks and plays like ersatz Tolkien with puppets.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: The Dark Crystal's narrative never quite lives up to the movie's visual splendor, but it remains an admirably inventive and uniquely intense entry in the Jim Henson canon.
1. The biggest complaint I'd make is how Rise has been marketed. Previews make Caesar look like he started out a seething ball of simian rage, and that isn't the case.
2. ...one of the most literate science fiction action films in some time.
3. This is a well made movie, the kind that deserves praise for setting out to do something and doing it very well.
4. Since the only really good Planet of the Apes movie was the 1968 original with Charlton Heston, I've always wondered why filmmakers can't just leave well enough alone.
5. The apes are fun to ride along with at times, but the humans and the overall story are rather bland.
6. A movie that opens as well as this one does-and draws you in so effectively-ought to have a finale that doesn't remind you of cheesy monster movies from years past. On the other hand, the visual effects in are so astonishing that I have to...
7. Occasionally violent origin story is surprisingly good.
8. The biggest surprise in a long time simply delivers what it promises and then goes way beyond that to become one of the most memorable summer thrill rides of the last few years.
9. When Rise of the Planet of the Apes gets things right, which is does very often, it's surprisingly heart-wrenching.
10. It's worth it for the ape rampage, but we're making a devil's bargain here. Thank you for the awesome ape action, and we'll tolerate the script.
Consensus: Led by Rupert Wyatt's stylish direction, some impressive special effects, and a mesmerizing performance by Andy Serkis, Rise of the Planet of the Apes breathes unlikely new life into a long-running franchise.
1. Australian writer/director Kim Mordaunt was inspired to make this wistful, often lyrical film after his 2007 documentary Bomb Harvest...Thankfully he layers the unavoidable political notes with real warmth, humour and character.
2. One of the most exotic coming-of-age movies you're likely to see.
3. Endearing, gripping and heartwarming, The Rocket recently won the "World Narrative Competition" prize at Tribeca, and it's easy to see why. The picture is crowd pleasing and enjoyable, but admiringly respectful and carefully considered.
4. The particulars of Laos's historical conflicts are sometimes only obliquely confronted, but the torrid past of covered-up wars palpably echoes through the scarred yet majestic landscapes.
5. The Rocket is a well-constructed delivery system for sparkly cheer, but it lacks a more substantial payload.
6. Uplifting, engrossing and thrilling while remaining accessible to both art-house and mainstream audiences. It's destined to become a sleeper hit.
7. Mordaunt doesn't always succeed at balancing the sentimental, the political and the ethnographic, but at its strongest the story is a seamless melding of history's dark undertow and a child's indefatigable optimism.
8. Disamoe demonstrates the resourcefulness he learned during a period when he was a street seller and beggar. It's his exuberant performance, as much as the pungently naturalistic setting, that lifts The Rocket's scenario above the generic.
9. A pretty, somewhat sleepy and finally strange once-upon-a-time tale...
10. Long on atmosphere and less sentimental about poverty than "Beasts of the Southern Wild," the film carries a potent charge of authenticity.

Consensus: A feel-good success crafted with care, Kim Mordaunt's story of two young kids in Laos is a heartfelt audience pleaser while remaining sensitive toward its subjects.
