- 85TheWrapAlonso DuraldeTheWrapAlonso DuraldeStorks continually surprises with characters who are more complicated than we might expect in a kid’s animated movie, and a refusal to hit every single pre-programmed plot beat.

- 63Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreIt’s not as start-to-finish funny as Warner Animation’s “Lego Movie”, and that also goes for the quirky Lego cartoon short — basically the chicken-botched filming of the opening credits to a martial arts movie...But there’s wit, warmth and invention here, enough to make you hopeful for a Warner Animation future.

- 50VarietyOwen GleibermanVarietyOwen GleibermanIn Storks, the jokes fall flat, but the pace is relentless, and those two things seem somehow intertwined, as if the filmmakers had convinced themselves that comedy that whips by fast enough won’t go thud.

- 40We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoWe Got This CoveredMatt DonatoStorks is momentarily funny when it’s not boorishly and exhaustively begging for your attention.
