It was a self-contained story that didn't try to change the world, and that was part of its charm.

A southern gothic--and a damn good one at that

Disney may have gone off the rails for a few years after The Fox and the Hound, but this one still feels like a classic. Or at very least, a mini-classic.

A wounded and unresolved movie free of the expected Disney cutesiness and complacency.

...very sweet and no doubt a delight for children, but I found it quite slow and tedious.

Ainda que apresente algumas das falhas habituais das produções Disney dos anos 70, tem personagens carismáticos e marca a estréia de uma nova geração de animadores.

The most charming of Disney features of the 1980s, with two appealing protagonists and a worthy story.

Accomplished and sometimes exciting ... but by and large unsatisfying.
