Here's what the critics are saying:

The animation and 3-D effects of this hybrid world are simply stunning. — Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times
The writers and artists take the business of running gags and throwaway gags and all sorts of gags seriously. In other words: It's funny. — Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
Fans of the original’s heartfelt quality, and the generally clever way it poked fun at disaster-movie tropes, will find this outing less to their taste. — Peter Debruge, Variety
If you rely on films to keep your kids entertained and distracted for an hour and a half, "Meatballs" is a masterwork, a visual stunner that manages to break from animation's current 3-D rut. — Scott Bowles, USA Today
