There must be a computer in the Disney studios programmed to produce live-action shooting scripts at the drop of various switches.

Parents know Disney movies are OK to send the kids to because there won't be any nudity or profanity. But isn't it also poisonous for kids to be exposed to stupid characters, lame-brained plots and humorless 'gags?'

TV Guide

Another Disney family film that stresses (to the point of ridiculousness) the importance of treating animals kindly.

'The Last Flight of Noah's Ark' is average. One of the reasons for that is the lacklustre plot, which is one we've practically already seen before from Disney in years prior - like 1960's 'Swiss Family Robinson' and 1966's 'Lt. Robin Crusoe U.S.N.'. This isn't incredibly similar to those two, but they are certainly in the same ballpark. The premise doesn't have much about it in terms of action or heart, the ending threatens to finish with a highly meaningful moment but instead bottles it in favour of a more happier conclusion. Elsewhere, you have a forgettable cast. Elliott Gould (Dugan) and Geneviève Bujold (Bernadette) are alright, though they lack the necessary chemistry together. Close to being a good'un, but just misses out in my books.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

This is a very safe reworking of the Noah story that's more of a modern day adventure than anything biblical. It's a Disney production mainly intended for children, but it can be enjoyed by all.

I recall wanting to see this when it was on TV as a (CBS classic drumroll, trumpet fanfare, the word rotating in rainbow colors until it's upright) SPECIAL! 10-31-1981, 8:00 pm. I cut trick-or-treating short to see it. I've been a fan ever since. It's #5 on my favorite movies of 1980. I personally give it 4 out of five (It can be slow at times).
