Biggest Swing
The film drops from its peak of brilliant castle-building to underwhelming comedy that fails to land.
The Little Guy starts strong with impressive animation and charming character work, particularly the castle-building sequence. The middle section suffers from jokes that don't land and missed opportunities, but recovers with endearing portrayals of childhood chaos. Critics appreciated the concept but felt the ending played it too safe.
