Reviews
Zambezia has garnered mixed reviews from critics, reflected in its 25% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a modest 5.7/10 on IMDb. Many reviewers have pointed out the film's impressive visuals and engaging animation, with a particular praise for the vibrant depiction of the Zambezi ecosystem. 'The film is a visual feast,' said a critic from Animation World Network, highlighting the rich colors and detailed environments that bring the setting to life. However, the narrative has received criticism for its formulaic plot and lack of character depth. 'While it's fun to watch, the story plays it safe and doesn’t break new ground in storytelling,' noted a review from Screen Rant. Metacritic users have been slightly more forgiving, giving it a score of 54, indicating mixed or average reviews from audiences. Some families enjoyed the humor suitable for all ages, stating, 'My kids loved the adventure, but I wished for more character development.' Overall, while 'Zambezia' captivates with its animation, it struggles to make a lasting impact with its conventional storyline.
