Professional Reviews

• KidsFirst!: “A heartwarming film with great characters, a fantastical setting, and a sweet story. Luck made me think about good and bad luck in a whole new way; perhaps bad luck is not so bad after all! It’s timeless in its optimistic message about facing challenges and helping others. I recommend it for ages 5 to 18, plus adults.
• IMDB: “The story was cute, but not for kids to follow along with much. As an adult I am still not sure where Bob came from originally. This was just a bit too long for any child to stay in their seats and watch. The animation was good. It should have been much funnier, but sadly no.
• IMDB: “This actually looked like a cute family film. Sadly, it turned out to be the most generic type of movie anyone could imagine. The premise had potential of being something fun, but the gags are completely bland and inoffensive. Maybe it’s an ok film for very little kids, but I think even them will be bored by this.

Audience Reactions

The whimsical world of luck and the characters was charming for adults and children alike.: Viewers appreciated the film’s message about the balance of good and bad luck, and the animation style was fun and lively.

Overall Consensus: Luck is a generally well-received animated film with a heartwarming message, though some critics found the plot convoluted. The animation and characters are praised, making it enjoyable for both kids and adults.
