Film.com
A more than worthy (and weird) holiday diversion for the whole family. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
Although it seldom approaches the inspiration of its plucky premise... Free Birds nevertheless manages to avoid being branded a holiday turkey. - 50
Village Voice
Like so many modern animated features, Free Birds packs too much in; the picture feels cramped and cluttered, and, despite its occasionally manic action, it moves as slowly as a fattened bird waddling toward its doom. - 50
Variety
A cute but disposable item were it not for the story’s weird racial undertow. - 50
Entertainment Weekly
In the end, the jokes simply aren’t funny enough to lift these flight-challenged fowl off the ground. - 42
The A.V. Club
The best moments are jokes that feel grafted onto a film that was probably close to completion before anyone involved realized they were portraying a fight between turkeys and English settlers as the largest conflict in the European colonization of North America. - 38
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Frozen, undercooked and sorely lacking much in the way of “all the trimmings,” this turkey isn’t ready to serve. - 30
The Dissolve
Free Birds feels like Hollywood brining small children for the blockbusters they’ll pay to see when they’re older. It’s littered with quips, but the film puts a premium on loud, effects-driven action that mistakes nonstop intensity for cartoony entertainment.
