| San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackThis wonderful romp of a movie looks magical on the big screen: colors are a picnic for the eyes, details loom so clearly you can practically touch them and there's a sense of the larger-than-life with a film that's already larger than life. |

| Film4Richard LuckThe greatest children's movie of all time. Probably. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrI don't find the film light or joyful in the least—an air of primal menace hangs about it, which may be why I love it. |
| Film ThreatPhil HallI'll see you on the dark side of the moon...and your little dog, too! |
| Arizona Daily StarPhil VillarrealIt's a movie almost everyone has seen multiple times, and every viewing is a visit home as well as a wild adventure toward territories unknown. |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. Puccio...one of the most enduring musical fantasies of all time. |
| Reno Gazette-JournalMark RobisonStill a treat for you -- and your little dog too... |
