Ingenious action sequences driven by surprisingly little plot lead to a climax full of the transmogrification animation was invented for.

Emperor doesn't aim too high or strain too hard; it is at ease inhabiting its pretty, miniature realm.
Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine

The unfussy, tossed-off quality actually helps give this original story zippy irreverence some of Disney's plusher cartoons lack.
David Ansen, Newsweek

This Disney comedy makes a self-conscious and largely successful attempt to modernise the studio's format with a jive-ass sensibility.
