Even the most sophisticated software can’t give characters a sense of weight or a way of moving that suggests their personality. Nor can it create an engaging story. Sadly, director Deane Taylor and his crew fail to provide those elements.- Los Angeles Times

A leaden-paced film that only followers of Okawa could enjoy.- Los Angeles Times

The film fails to generate even a shred of suspense or humor as the characters stumble from one forgettable song to the next.- Los Angeles Times

The ineptly told story features the hollow menaces, uninteresting villains, bland heroes, predictable confrontations and static animation that have become standards of the genre. [21 Mar 1986, p.17]- Los Angeles Times

But rarely has so much animated opulence been wasted on such a thin, badly told story.- Los Angeles Times

The sugary cuteness of the Little Ponies masks a corporate greed as cold and sharp as a razor blade.- Los Angeles Times

Unfortunately, the story, script, voice actors and animation all prove less flexible than the toys, and the film never turns into entertainment. GoBots are more fun to play with than they are to watch.- Los Angeles Times

In an effort to generate some excitement (and disguise the limits of the animation) director Nelson Shin keeps the camera constantly in motion. The Transformers has so many cuts that it looks like the film was developed in a Veg-O-Matic. Because it features ineptly blended drawn animation and computer graphics, The Transformers is billed as state-of-the-art. It seems more like state-of-the-marketing. [08 Aug 1986, p.8]- Los Angeles Times

Aside from an occasional reference to Carroll, The Care Bears' Adventure is just standard 1980s children's fare. The same kind of minimal plot, sappy songs, badly timed gags, limited animation and smarmy message have been used in so many recent cartoons that even small children must be tiring of the pattern. [07 Aug 1987, p.6]- Los Angeles Times
