J. R. Jones Chicago Reader 11/21/2012
The movie never comes close to replicating the spell that Reiniger was able to cast using much more primitive techniques, which underlines a chronic problem of computer animation: its very precision squeezes all the magic from the magic lantern. Go to Full Review
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 11/21/2012
3/4
It is so gentle and whimsical that one wonders if American children, accustomed to the whiz-bang action of most animation, will accept it. Go to Full Review

03/30/2020 In the world we are living in we, sadly, find only very few things that are constant among all the changes that plague us. One of those rare constant phenomenons is, most certainly, unique, enchanting film-making style and wit of Michel Ocelot. Despite all the time that passes around us, we can always find comfort in the fact that Michel Ocelot still creates simple, yet magical worlds and narratives and, most of all, still believe, and, indeed, can also make us believe (if only for the moment), that there is nothing more important that love and that love, this most important things of all, can concur every obstacle on its way. This particular movie is no different: while not every fairy tale in this anthology is as good as my favorite one, „The boy who never lied", every single one of them is hypnotic in their timeless beauty, just like princes and princesses that we encounter in their worlds. If only I could live to see another installment of this series, spend another night in that theater with old mentor and his young friends that love each other so, so much... See more 06/27/2016 the worst fucking shit i ever watched!
