| Philadelphia InquirerDesmond RyanModest, unassuming fare for younger children. |
| South Florida Sun-SentinelSherri WinstonWhile the message of the story sings loud and clear, the drama plays out at a whisper. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Jeff ViceOne of the weakest kids' films in recent memory. |
| Associated PressMalcolm RitterThe animation is unimaginative and uninspiring. |
| Common Sense MediaNell MinowA good family movie; much to enjoy and talk about. |
| Apollo GuideBrian WebsterThis is one worth missing in the hopes that some day, someone will do it a whole lot better. |
| Globe and MailRick GroenThe movie leeches from the book most of what makes the story wonderful: The sly humour and the occasional dark edge that keeps the inherent sweetness on the safe side of sentimentality. |
| New York PostLou LumenickA brightly colored but terminally dull cartoon. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertAn innocuous family feature that's too little/too late in the fast-moving world of feature animation. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerUpbeat but generic songs (one performed by Little Richard) and jazz lines add a little energy but the film feels less like a feature than an expensive ad for the upcoming video. |
