The Hollywood Reporter
Under Saldanha's guidance, an extensive team of animators and visual effects artists elevates the 3D format to an alluring level, with character details, dense background imagery and often complex action and aerial sequences (including a requisite Busby Berkeley-inspired musical number) appearing effortlessly executed. - 60
Variety
This hyperactive toon extravaganza has color, flair and energy to burn. But it’s the sort of relentless juggling act that finally proves more exhausting than exhilarating. - 60
Time Out London
The characterisation is feisty and memorable, the song-and-dance sequences intricate and colourful, and it’ll charm the socks off little people. - 60
Empire
A very unfocused, sporadically funny film, lifted by its (predictable) visual splendour. - 60
Total Film
The predictable plot gets an enjoyably venomous boost from Jemaine Clement’s revenge-obsessed cockatoo Nigel. - 50
Film.com
A strange combination of mental exhaustion and boredom. - 50

If this sequel proves anything, it’s that more is not always better. - 40
The Telegraph
This jumbled sequel, which was also directed by Carlos Saldanha, loses most of what made the first film such an infectious entertainment.
