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

That rare event, a Disney failure.

8/10

Tim Brayton

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.

It's a gay, colorful, resplendent conceit.

The two films are as artistically astonishing as they are culturally clueless.

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

Bosley Crowther

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

Jeremy Heilman

[After the] headlong launch into that abstract fantasia of color and sound, it's difficult to deny the sexual nature of its characters' pelvic thrusts and rampant phallic imagery. Clearly, this is Disney's horniest animated feature.

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