"The Hero of Color City" was made for five-year-olds and is unashamedly derivative of "Toy Story."

There's also a character who's a borderline libelous ripoff of 'The Simpsons'' Jerry Lewis-y Professor Frink.

Gentle adventure is sweet, colorful, but not very original.

It should appeal to the little ones, but there's not much here for the over-sixes.

Bland, though well-meaning, animated fable.

This is a pretty lame computer-generated animated movie that will likely not engage kids much past the first grade.

Cheerfully exhorting imagination, creativity and bravery in children while demonstrating none of those virtues itself, "The Hero of Color City" proves to be a dispiritingly colorless feature-length babysitter.

A weak Toy Story-esque animated film for preschool kids made with little imagination, little art, and even less soul.

Even if you allow for the the fact that the film is geared towards the 5-year-old set, it's still a pretty dreary experience, made even more so by screamingly vivid colors, uninspiring animation and grating songs.
