Without the pizzazz of computer animation you can see how it will struggle to find its target audience. Full Review |

Disney guarantees a certain standard of entertainment that will doubtless satisfy several hundred thousand families. Full Review |

2/5 |
Akin to an extremely well-made Saturday morning cartoon -- great for hyperactive four-year-olds or hungover students, not worth a trip to the pictures. Full Review |

3/5 |
Each scene looks wonderful, and the action is energetic and exciting enough to keep us hooked. Forget where it came from and it's not half bad. Full Review |

By following its story as closely as they have, the filmmakers have retained much of what made the novel a classic. Full Review |

3/5 |
Esta curiosa releitura do clássico de Robert Louis Stevenson conta com um visual impressionante e boas seqüências de ação. Ainda assim, está longe de se equiparar aos grandes clássicos da Disney.

This is Disney animation at its best: a witty and swashbuckling tale of adventure. Full Review |

5/10 |
In attempting to update the novel, Disney filmmakers have dulled the characterizations and dialogue and given us instead a lovely series of picture postcards from outer space. Full Review |
