EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderIt's frustrating to note that if all of Disney's recent animated films had been as funny, simple and pleasant as this one is, maybe they'd have done better. |
Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonIsn't good satire or good slapstick. It does have those lyrical, catchy Menken tunes, and the film perks up whenever Raitt or lang sing one of them. But much of this movie is deadly. |
VarietyJoe LeydonEven if Disney production turns out to be, as many observers fear, one of studio's last 'traditionally animated' features, retro opus proves there's still a lot of life in them thar cels. |
The A.V. ClubNathan RabinA sweet, raucously funny, comic Western that corrects a glaring historical injustice by finally surveying the Old West through the eyes of cows rather than cowboys. |
Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittOld-style animation slows down after a snappy start, but it's lively enough to keep kids from fidgeting too much. |

New York Daily NewsJack MathewsAn intended throwback to the halcyon days of colorful studio cartoons, more in the Chuck Jones style than Disney, and the animation of its characters and Western motif is fine. But the writing of co-directors Will Finn and John Sanford and their characterizations are embarrassingly bad. |
