Reviews

The Proud Family Movie has received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 5.3/10, reflecting a moderate reception. Some reviewers appreciate the film’s attempt to maintain the spirit and charm of the original TV series, particularly praising Kyla Pratt’s energetic performance and the movie’s positive messages about family and self-discovery. For instance, certain fans noted that “it captures the essence of the show, delivering humor and heart suitable for children and nostalgic adults.” However, other critics felt that the movie falls short in terms of pacing and animation quality when compared to contemporary animated films of the time. The movie was noted for its relatively simple plot and some felt it lacked the depth and wit that made the series memorable. Rotten Tomatoes does not have an aggregated score for the film, which suggests it did not receive wide critical attention. Overall, the film is seen as a nostalgic, family-friendly feature that appeals primarily to viewers who are already fans of The Proud Family series, rather than attracting a broader new audience.
