The greatest American movie fantasy.

The blend of old-fashioned, classic storytelling with cutting-edge technology is undeniably enthralling.

The result is quite stunning and a lot less gimmicky than it could have been.
Stephanie Merry, Washington Post

Knowing that it was made without a single computer, and entirely by human ingenuity, makes it all the more worthy of marveling at, 75 years and an added dimension later.
