Not inspired children's entertainment, but it has a certain charm.

I was in constant enjoyment as I watched it.

When you’re aiming for the tyke market, this 73-minute feature is more than able to keep the kids from squirming in their seats.

My advice is to see this film only in case of extenuating circumstances.

I fell sound asleep during the proceedings, only to be awakened by the usher for having my feet draped over the seat in front of me.

There's enough quirky charm, light-hearted humor and fresh ideas to appeal to both younger children, eager to grow up, and to older viewers looking back on the dawn of their own awkward adolescence.

A new nadir in animated entertainment.

Top CriticThe film hasn't much entertainment value for those much over the age of 10. There's not a thing in the world wrong with that.

It's refreshingly non-violent, unflashy, not smart alecky and mercifully free of insipid songs.

No harm done, really, but nothing of lasting value either.

Pleasant but hopelessly vanilla.

The real problem here is the characters' utter blandness of conception.
