| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertWhile this could be a hit with undemanding small fry, choosy adults might prefer to whistle for Lassie. |
| Bangor Daily News (Maine)Christopher SmithSweet and good-natured, but ultimately it's as unremarkable as its animation. |
| Dallas Morning NewsNancy ChurninThis handsomely animated, well-directed and -voiced G-rated film, set in the hope-starved era of the Depression, takes on special poignancy as the last directing project of Christopher Reeve. |

| Detroit Free PressJohn MonaghanA likable, lumbering, computer-animated children's movie set during the Depression that is more entertaining than it has any right to be. |
