That rare event, a Disney failure. Full Review |

|
By far the strangest feature-length movie in the history of the Walt Disney Company, with virtually every new minute bringing something more insanely creative than the last. Full Review |

|
It's a gay, colorful, resplendent conceit. Full Review |

|
This is one of the most dazzling achievements of the cartoon genre. Full Review |

The two films are as artistically astonishing as they are culturally clueless. Full Review |

The menu buttons are shaped like sombreros. I trust I needn't say more. Full Review |

|
A brilliant hodgepodge of Mr. Disney's illustrative art—a literal spinwheel of image, color and music which tumbles at you with explosive surprise. Full Review |

Particularly notable is the animated train travelling through a garden of real flowers. Full Review |

No other Disney feature achieved this level of exuberant abstraction, or displayed the same sheer pleasure in the magic of the animator's art. Full Review |
