      Kevin Maher Times (UK) Delivered by rudimentary computer animation... Still, the central conceit is compelling. Rated: 3/5 Aug 10, 2018 Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian Hats off to the chutzpah of the filmmakers behind this thoughtful if somewhat plodding effort, which will appeal largely to young (or young-at-heart) dog lovers cum budding war historians - not exactly a massive demographic. Rated: 3/5 Aug 9, 2018 Full Review Scott Marks San Diego Reader I'm glad to report that I not only saw the tale of a soldier and his loyal pooch through to the end; at one point, I used a shirt cuff to blot away the wet eyes. Rated: 3/5 Apr 13, 2018 Full Review Scott Phillips The Movie Isle It's a heart-warming story that features beautiful, painterly animation. Jul 23, 2020 Full Review Jeanne Kaplan Kaplan vs. Kaplan To those of you who might turn up your nose at an animated feature about a dog in WWI, you'll be missing one of the most entertaining endeavors in a long while. Apr 2, 2020 Full Review David Kaplan Kaplan vs. Kaplan SGT. STUBBY: AN AMERICAN HERO features often remarkable animation, professional voice overs and an emotionally charged tale of friendship and courage that should capture the hearts of moviegoers everywhere Apr 2, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

      Hector G BEST ANIMATED WW1 KIDS MOVIE KNOWN TO ALL OF MANKIND Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/18/23 Full Review John B I thought this was a great war time animated movie about a dog and his heroism during WWI with his owner and how they helped each other in the troop. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/02/23 Full Review Universalboy2014 I Sounds Very Emotional, But I'd Take It Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/05/23 Full Review Donald J Instead of showcasing the war as it should do, "Sgt. Stubby" wants to simply portray Stubby as a good dog. I like dogs too, but this is too much. At least put some background characters in so we know that it's not just the few main characters fighting the war. Maybe some animated extras. In summation, watch the "Bee Movie" instead, I don't care. Anything but this mess. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/30/23 Full Review Rodrigo C great and sad and good Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/08/23 Full Review Spartan S A heartwarming true story of a stray dog finding his person and becoming a true war hero. Sgt. Stubby surely earned his stripes for his bravery and actions in WWI. Conroy and Stubby were meant for each other and tjis movie was made with heart. I salute you, Sgt. Stubby!
