Efficiently short, charming, mildly scary in unimportant ways, and occasionally very funny.
Vincent Canby, New York Times

The Walt Disney animators returned to top form with this beautifully crafted and wonderfully expressive cartoon feature, the first major work to come out of the Disney studios in a decade.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
