Happy Happy Joy Joy really delves into the good, the bad, and the ugly of what it takes to create a show that breaks all the rules.

Aisle Seat
[The film] offers a straightforward oral history of Ren & Stimpy, recounting the genesis of the characters, the instant controversy the series provoked, and Kricfalusi’s infamous battles with the network.
A.V. Club
[It's] impressive as an engaging and exhaustive oral history of a groundbreaking show, but more so for being able to hold multiple truths about someone as simultaneously admirable and repulsive as Kricfalusi.

Moveable Fest
Perhaps in an effort to primarily focus on the Ren & Stimpy parts, the filmmakers haven't just buried the lede, they've practically hidden the headstone.

TheWrap
Happy Happy Joy Joy did not have to deliver a verdict on the art-vs.-artist debate, but a more successful documentary might demand conclusions from its subjects.

Polygon
A cliched portrait of difficult genius undermines a layered portrait of a classic TV show.

Hollywood Reporter
The clues, tidily packaged, explain away Kricfalusi's pathology. "Happy Happy Joy Joy" is a cautionary tale not a hagiography
