      Lynne Heffley Los Angeles Times "The Little Kidnappers" is a beautifully photographed, unashamedly sentimental tale of conflict resolved through innocence. Sep 26, 2019 Full Review John Voorhees Seattle Times While much of what happens in ``The Little Kidnappers'' is predictabl... what makes it so enjoyable are the completely unself-conscious performances by Leo Wheatley and Charles Miller, as Harry and Davy MacKenzie. Sep 26, 2019 Full Review Susan Dunne Hartford Courant "The Little Kidnappers" is a little precious and a little drawn-out, but for kids who aren't so little -- pre-teens and up -- and who have a little patience, considerable satisfaction can be had by watching it.
