Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The $3 million film has a workable scenario and has been directed resourcefully and spiritedly by Don Chaffey, under whose leadership a colorful cast performs with zeal.
Fresh: The Gone With The Wind of stop-frame animation.
Fresh: For sheer old-fashioned, childhood rekindling adventure you really can't go past it.
Fresh: Great fun, as these things go, with a Bernard Herrmann score to boot.
