The New York Times
A wondrous and slightly deranged story about oddballs embracing their differences. - 60
Time Out London
It’s formulaic, but also largely entertaining, quite touching, occasionally amusing and competently animated. - 50
Variety
The voice ensemble is game, if not especially well matched. - 40
Total Film
Even the film’s key source of charm, its heartfelt allegory about tolerance, becomes a flaw when rare flashes of anarchy (notably a tribe of crazed rodents) are eclipsed by over earnestness. - 38
RogerEbert.com
Khumba is disastrously uninspired. Not even a galaxy of stars, united in their willingness to take a check, can save Khumba from being the boringest plucky outsider of all. - 0
Village Voice
Resoundingly terrible.
