I do have to say that while the film is beautifully animated, it is not a children's film. There are many scary moments and I don't think it's appropriate for anyone under ten. That being said, the movie is really an animated western for adults. Most of the film feels like a strange acid trip but the movie works because it looks so good and the characters are well acted and well developed.

It's ultimately a pastiche-by-numbers and doesn't live up to its full potential, but as a visual treat and one of Depp's better vehicles of recent years, it delivers the basic goods.
(Shaun Munro, Obsessed With Film)
