The film is a fast-paced, stylish heist comedy that manages to be both a tribute to classic caper movies and a heartwarming story about redemption.

Critics and fans alike have praised the movie for its hybrid animation style , which blends 3D models with 2D-inspired hand-drawn flourishes. It feels more like a moving comic book or a stylized anime like Lupin III than a typical CGI movie.

Reviewers from platforms like Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb generally find it to be a top-tier DreamWorks entry.

While the plot follows some familiar tropes about "don't judge a book by its cover," the kinetic action sequences and high-energy car chases keep it engaging for all ages. Some critics felt it lacked the deep emotional resonance of a Pixar film, but it makes up for it with sheer fun and personality. Community Feedback
