- 71PolygonPetrana RadulovicPolygonPetrana RadulovicA lot of the plot elements feel overly familiar, but in the few moments where the movie transcends those trappings, it’s a fun, memorable romp.
- 70VarietyPeter DebrugeVarietyPeter DebrugeWish Dragon delivers a whole new world, a new fantastic point of view, and that’s plenty.
- 65Paste MagazineJoseph StanicharPaste MagazineJoseph StanicharA simple, cute, unoriginal animated film that seldom impresses, but still warms your heart a little.
- 60Screen RantMae AbdulbakiScreen RantMae AbdulbakiWhile the film does take its time stepping out on its own and out of the shadows of Aladdin and its "tale as old as time" story (Long's own words), Wish Dragon is a heartwarming, charming film with a great message and lovely characters.
- 50Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreThe moral of the story, “the power of human friendship,” must have taken 33 seconds to come up with. But some of the sight gags — Long disguising himself as human, the two of them escaping the bad guys by donning a dragon parade costume — are a stitch.
