4/5
The film is an authentic children's entertainment and quite the merriest of its kind that Hollywood has turned loose on the nation's screens in a long time. Go to Full Review Chicago Reader 02/13/2001
This is a kid's movie rife with all the Freudian squalor that Disney repressed. Go to Full Review Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine 09/25/2019
It's a combination of Victor Herbert, scrambled Mother Goose, scrambled Laurel and Hardy, and toy nightmare - the sort of thing an imaginative child might dream, falling asleep after too many Christmas excitements and indigestibles.
