== Reception ==
Tugger was not reviewed by many critics, but received mixed reviews from those who did review it.[1] Orlando Sentinel's Roger Moore gave it a 2.5 saying "Tugger: The Jeep Who Wanted to Fly never really takes flight. It's better designed than animated, better voiced than scripted."[2] Asheville, N.C., Mountain Xpress gave it 3 stars calling it boring but with a delightful, crisp, and clever visual.[1]
