Critics Sentiment
Andre grows up learning tricks and attracting local fans
Paula decides to leave home after Harry bans Mark permanently
The film drops sharply from Andre's charming trick performances to the tedious family drama involving Paula's rebellion and teen romance subplot
Andre starts strong with the heartwarming seal adoption and crowd pleasing animal performances that reviewers consistently loved. The middle section sags badly due to formulaic family conflict and teen romance that critics found annoying and predictable. The film recovers somewhat in the final act as Andre proves his worth and conflicts resolve, though many felt it remained overly sentimental.
