Critic Reviews for The Island at the Top of the World

All Critics (7) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (3) | Rotten (4)

The Arctic looks like a melted dessert, the Viking village like a low-rent neighborhood in Disneyland, and the Vikings themselves like Hell's Angels on Halloween.

TIME Magazine
All deliver realistic performances.

Variety
Unimaginative plot, interminable dialogue in 'Old Norse', some pointless love interest, and a particularly repulsive poodle.

Geoff Andrew
Time Out
Stunningly photographed scenery and convincing visual effects make this film one of Disney's more believable efforts.
