this is a movie that feels like it was generated based on first ideas only; Arctic Dogs' plot makes little to no sense, as a clear lack of effort shines through; Not only is the script incomprehensible, but Arctic Dogs’ animation is shoddy as well
the film has a pleasingly crisp aesthetic; Overall, "Arctic Dogs" evokes memories of classic holiday specials more than contemporary feature films, which is no bad thing; Kids will get simplistic messages about saving the environment
the comedy is both very broad and painfully unfunny. There's really not much to recommend about this film: the animation lacks texture, the score is overwrought, the plotting is scattershot, and the character design is uninspired
lacking much in the way of humor or charm, the film, directed by Aaron Woodley, culminates with the sort of frenetic, action-laden climactic sequence that has become de rigueur for these offerings
