Many reviewers praised the movie's appeal to young children, highlighting its colorful visuals and catchy musical numbers. For instance, some viewers appreciated the energetic performances and found the storyline accessible for its target demographic. However, critics pointed out that the plot can be somewhat predictable and simplistic, which may limit its engagement for older viewers. While the movie maintains a cheerful tone throughout, certain reviews on Finnish film blogs noted that the humor occasionally felt repetitive. According to Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, data is limited or unavailable, which suggests the film's appeal was largely regional rather than international.
