Paul Constant is medium impressed:
It's an exceptionally well-designed foray into computer animation, even for the age of Pixar. The title character (voiced by Elijah Wood, phoning in the exact same performance he gave in The Lord of the Rings) is a rag doll constructed from burlap and animated by some mixture of science and alchemy in a postapocalyptic future. He meets other golems who appear to be sewn together, just like him, and together they join forces to destroy their enemies, a team of patchwork creatures strung together from the detritus of a crushed civilization. Together, they will restore life to the world against—yawn!—all odds.
