- 70Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranLos Angeles TimesKenneth TuranLike the man himself, Floyd Norman: An Animated Life is genial on the surface but lets us go a little deeper into an unusual life than we might have expected.
- 70The New York TimesKen JaworowskiThe New York TimesKen JaworowskiThe humble Mr. Norman is always ready with a laugh, and it’s tough not to smile yourself when he reaches for a pencil and starts drawing. When that happens, it’s redundant to say he’s special. Anyone can see it.
- 60The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckDiffuse and rambling at times, An Animated Life, which sometimes has the feel of a tribute film shown at an award gala, is not as compelling as such similarly themed docs as "Waking Sleeping Beauty" and "Frank and Ollie." But it nonetheless serves as an entertaining salute to an unsung figure whose considerable accomplishments well deserve recognition.
