Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest: Critic Score: 54%. Average Rating: 6/10. Reviews Counted: 219. Fresh: 118. Rotten: 101. Critics Consensus: Gone is Depp's unpredictability and much of the humor and originality of the first movie.
A Christmas Carol: Critic Score: 54%. Average Rating: 5.9/10. Reviews Counted: 190. Fresh: 103. Rotten: 87. Critics Consensus: Robert Zemeckis' 3-D animated take on the Dickens classic tries hard, but its dazzling special effects distract from an array of fine performances from Jim Carrey and Gary Oldman.
The Lorax: Critic Score: 54%. Average Rating: 5.9/10. Reviews Counted: 147. Fresh: 79. Rotten: 68. Critics Consensus: Dr. Seuss' The Lorax is cute and funny enough but the moral simplicity of the book gets lost with the zany Hollywood production values.
Home on the Range: Critic Score: 54%. Average Rating: 5.7/10. Reviews Counted: 125. Fresh: 67. Rotten: 58. Critics Consensus: Though Home on the Range is likeable and may keep young children diverted, it's one of Disney's more middling titles, with garish visuals and a dull plot.
Cats & Dogs: Critic Score: 54%. Average Rating: 5.5/10. Reviews Counted: 115. Fresh: 62. Rotten: 53. Critics Consensus: A great concept, but the movie fails to develop the characters and some of the jokes are hit-or-miss.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas: Critic Score: 53%. Average Rating: 5.6/10. Reviews Counted: 130. Fresh: 69. Rotten: 61. Critics Consensus: Jim Carrey shines as the Grinch. Unfortunately, it's not enough to save this movie. You'd be better off watching the TV cartoon.
Ice Princess: Critic Score: 52%. Average Rating: 5.6/10. Reviews Counted: 104. Fresh: 54. Rotten: 50. Critics Consensus: This likable Disney film gets points for effort, but can't stick the landing when it comes to originality.
Titan A.E.: Critic Score: 52%. Average Rating: 5.7/10. Reviews Counted: 99. Fresh: 51. Rotten: 48. Critics Consensus: Great visuals, but the story feels like a cut-and-paste job of other sci-fi movies.

Tron Legacy: Critic Score: 51%. Average Rating: 5.9/10. Reviews Counted: 228. Fresh: 117. Rotten: 111. Critics Consensus: Tron Legacy boasts dazzling visuals, but its human characters and story get lost amidst its state-of-the-art production design.
Bee Movie: Critic Score: 51%. Average Rating: 5.7/10. Reviews Counted: 169. Fresh: 86. Rotten: 83. Critics Consensus: Bee Movie has humorous moments, but its awkward premise and tame delivery render it mostly forgettable.

Atlantis: The Lost Empire: Critic Score: 49%. Average Rating: 5.5/10. Reviews Counted: 141. Fresh: 69. Rotten: 72. Critics Consensus: Atlantis provides a fast-paced spectacle, but stints on such things as character development and a coherent plot.
Maleficent: Critic Score: 49%. Average Rating: 5.7/10. Reviews Counted: 195. Fresh: 96. Rotten: 99. Critics Consensus: Angelina Jolie's magnetic performance outshines Maleficent's dazzling special effects; unfortunately, the movie around them fails to justify all that impressive effort.
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader: Critic Score: 49%. Average Rating: 5.7/10. Reviews Counted: 159. Fresh: 78. Rotten: 81. Critics Consensus: Its leisurely, businesslike pace won't win the franchise many new fans, but Voyage of the Dawn Treader restores some of the Narnia franchise's lost luster with strong performances and impressive special effects.
Astro Boy: Critic Score: 49%. Average Rating: 5.6/10. Reviews Counted: 132. Fresh: 65. Rotten: 67. Critics Consensus: While it isn't terribly original, and it seems to have a political agenda that may rankle some viewers, Astro Boy boasts enough visual thrills to please its target demographic.
Rio 2: Critic Score: 48%. Average Rating: 5.4/10. Reviews Counted: 105. Fresh: 50. Rotten: 55. Critics Consensus: Like most sequels, Rio 2 takes its predecessor's basic template and tries to make it bigger -- which means it's even busier, more colorful, and ultimately more exhausting for viewers outside the youthful target demographic.
Open Season: Critic Score: 48%. Average Rating: 5.4/10. Reviews Counted: 100. Fresh: 48. Rotten: 52. Critics Consensus: Open Season is a cliched palette of tired jokes and CG animal shenanigans that have been seen multiple times this cinematic year.

Mickey Mouse 2: Critic Score: 46%. Average Rating: 5.5/10. Reviews Counted: 206.

Hoodwinked: Critic Score: 46%. Average Rating: 5.5/10. Reviews Counted: 123. Fresh: 57. Rotten: 66. Critics Consensus: This fractured fairytale doesn't have the wit or animation quality to compete with the likes of the Shrek franchise.

Happy Feet Two: Critic Score: 46%. Average Rating: 5.5/10. Reviews Counted: 111. Fresh: 51. Rotten: 60. Critics Consensus: The animation is as eye-popping as ever, but Happy Feet Two's narrative is too noisily incoherent to recapture the Oscar-winning charm of its predecessor.

Hotel Transylvania: Critic Score: 45%. Average Rating: 5.4/10. Reviews Counted: 138. Fresh: 62. Rotten: 76. Critics Consensus: Hotel Transylvania's buoyant, giddy tone may please children, but it might be a little too loud and thinly-scripted for older audiences.

Oliver & Company: Critic Score: 43%. Average Rating: 5.4/10. Reviews Counted: 35. Fresh: 15. Rotten: 20. Critics Consensus: Oliver & Company is a decidedly lesser effort in the Disney canon, with lackluster songs, stiff animation, and a thoroughly predictable plot.

Everyone's Hero: Critic Score: 41%. Average Rating: 5/10. Reviews Counted: 68. Fresh: 28. Rotten: 40. Critics Consensus: Everyone's Hero is such a predictable and bland tale that it'll appeal mostly to little kids; others seeking something in Pixar's league are looking in the wrong ballpark.
Shrek the Third: Critic Score: 40%. Average Rating: 5.4/10. Reviews Counted: 205. Fresh: 83. Rotten: 122. Critics Consensus: Shrek the Third has pop culture potshots galore, but at the expense of the heart, charm, and wit that made the first two Shrek classics.

Chicken Little: Critic Score: 36%. Average Rating: 5.5/10. Reviews Counted: 159. Fresh: 58. Rotten: 101. Critics Consensus: In its first non-Pixar CGI venture, Disney expends more effort in the technical presentation than in crafting an original storyline.
Igor: Critic Score: 36%. Average Rating: 4.8/10. Reviews Counted: 90. Fresh: 32. Rotten: 58. Critics Consensus: With an animation style that apes Tim Burton, and a slew of cultural references that aren't clear enough to reach the crowds, Igor's patched together antics make it hard to see who the film is trying to please.
Shark Tale: Critic Score: 35%. Average Rating: 5.2/10. Reviews Counted: 175. Fresh: 62. Rotten: 113. Critics Consensus: Derivative and full of pop culture in-jokes.
Space Jam: Critic Score: 35%. Average Rating: 5.1/10. Reviews Counted: 49. Fresh: 17. Rotten: 32. Critics Consensus: A harmless mishmash of basketball and animation that'll entertain kids but leave adults less than thrilled.
TMNT: Critic Score: 34%. Average Rating: 5/10. Reviews Counted: 115. Fresh: 39. Rotten: 76. Critics Consensus: TMNT's art direction is splendid, but the plot is non-existent and the dialogue lacks the irony and goofy wit of the earlier TMNT movies.
Space Chimps: Critic Score: 34%. Average Rating: 4.6/10. Reviews Counted: 92. Fresh: 31. Rotten: 61. Critics Consensus: Space Chimps' cheap animation and overabundance of monkey puns feels especially dated in a post-WALL-E world.

Critics Consensus: It's shorter and leaner than the previous sequel, but this Pirates runs aground on a disjointed plot and a non-stop barrage of noisy action sequences.
Valiant: Critic Score: 31%. Average Rating: 5/10. Reviews Counted: 112. Fresh: 35. Rotten: 77. Critics Consensus: Valiant has a good collection of voice talents, but the story is strictly by-the-numbers.
Hook: Critic Score: 30%. Average Rating: 4.4/10. Reviews Counted: 40. Fresh: 12. Rotten: 28. Critics Consensus: The look of Hook is lively indeed but Steven Spielberg directs on autopilot here, giving in too quickly to his sentimental, syrupy qualities.
Hey Arnold!: The Movie: Critic Score: 29%. Average Rating: 4.6/10. Reviews Counted: 78. Fresh: 23. Rotten: 55. Critics Consensus: Bland, unoriginal, and lacking the wit of the TV series, Hey Arnold is a 30 min cartoon stretched beyond its running time.
Planes: Critic Score: 26%. Average Rating: 4.6/10. Reviews Counted: 113. Fresh: 29. Rotten: 84. Critics Consensus: Planes has enough bright colors, goofy voices, and slick animation to distract some young viewers for 92 minutes -- and probably sell plenty of toys in the bargain -- but on nearly every other level, it's a Disney disappointment.
Hop: Critic Score: 25%. Average Rating: 4.4/10. Reviews Counted: 134. Fresh: 34. Rotten: 100. Critics Consensus: It's impressively animated, but Hop's script is so uninspired that not even James Marsden's frantic mugging can give it any bounce.

The Smurfs: Critic Score: 22%. Average Rating: 4/10. Reviews Counted: 116. Fresh: 26. Rotten: 90. Critics Consensus: The Smurfs assembles an undeniably talented cast of voice actors and live-action stars -- then crushes them beneath a blue mound of lowest-common-denominator kiddie fare.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Critic Score: 18%. Average Rating: 4.2/10. Reviews Counted: 158. Fresh: 29. Rotten: 129. Critics Consensus: Mechanical animation and a less-than stellar script make The Clone Wars a pale shadow of George Lucas' once great franchise.

Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore: Critic Score: 14%. Average Rating: 3.6/10. Reviews Counted: 96. Fresh: 13. Rotten: 83. Critics Consensus: Dull and unfunny, this inexplicable sequel offers little more than the spectacle of digitally rendered talking animals with celebrity voices.
The Smurfs 2: Critic Score: 14%. Average Rating: 4/10. Reviews Counted: 87. Fresh: 12. Rotten: 75. Critics Consensus: Like its predecessor, Smurfs 2 may amuse small children, but it's largely an unambitious, charm-free collection of slapstick gags and one-liners.

Doogal: Critic Score: 8%. Average Rating: 3.1/10. Reviews Counted: 49. Fresh: 4. Rotten: 45. Critics Consensus: Overloaded with pop culture references, but lacking in compelling characters and plot, Doogal is too simpleminded even for the kiddies.
Happily N'Ever After: Critic Score: 4%. Average Rating: 3/10. Reviews Counted: 80. Fresh: 3. Rotten: 77. Critics Consensus: Happily N'Ever After has none of the moxy, edge, or postmodern wit of the other fairy-tales-gone-haywire CG movie it so blatantly rips off.
