This is a family movie on a grand scale, enhanced by lush cinematography and throbbing music, with a minimum of dialogue and an endless assortment of thrills.

The kind of movie that kids used to flock to on Saturday afternoons in the forties and fifties.
Alan Niester, Globe and Mail

... one of the most amazing animal adventure fables ever captured on film.
