1.5/5

The great majority of the film's inappropriately slow-moving 76 minutes are taken up with basically nothing at all.

Worthy messages, but snarling, scary dogs in animated film.

While sitting in thrall of it, it's only natural for the abused mind to scramble to find reason in an otherwise meaningless entertainment.

People can say whatever they want about this movie, but in my mind this is a childhood classic and I will forever love it.

Absolutely stunning animation! It was created by the famous Don Bluth, former Disney animator, who also did Anastasia and All Dogs Go to Heaven. The music was so sweet and beautiful too. It was a message of positivity in a harsh world.

Easily the worst movie that Don Bluth has ever made. It’s an overly colourful, terribly written, horribly acted and insulting animated film even for kids

This remains one of my favorite movies from my childhood. It's sweet, silly and a little creepy. Being a big kid myself, I look forward to watching this with my granddaughter for years to come. So grateful for all of Don Bluth's films! 🥹
