Times of India

 ‘Appu’ is a heartfelt film with a powerful message about the importance of protecting our planet's wildlife. Visually, the film shines with its storybook-like quality, which will appeal to young audiences. However, the storytelling is predictable and amateurish for adults. While the tracks are visually captivating, they contribute to the film's length without adding much enjoyment, and the background score lacks innovation.

The film suffers from overdramatic dialogues, which detract from the enjoyment of watching this first Indian 4K animated film. For instance, “aapno ko khone ka dard samajhti hoon (I know the pain of losing my own people)”. However, the voiceover artists excels in bringing their characters to life and conveying the emotional depth of the story.
Despite its formulaic story and occasional flaws, ‘Appu’ effectively conveys the #ElephantLivesMatter message, which advocates for the conservation and preservation of our planet's natural heritage. Overall, while the film may not break new ground in terms of storytelling, its essential message and endearing characters make it worth watching.
