I haven't seen a more captivating kids' film for a long time... well, not since Toy Story, perhaps not since The Wizard of Oz. Go to Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Sep 4, 2014
Marrying American voices to Belgian animation, this candy-colored adventure has a harum-scarum energy that rarely flags. Go to Full Review Charles Solomon Los Angeles Times Sep 4, 2014

diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 12, 2026 Visualmente caprichado e colorido, o filme brilha na criação da atmosfera mágica da mansão, mas esbarra num roteiro previsível e cheio de clichés de invasão domiciliária. Um entretenimento inofensivo para os mais novos que fica firmemente ancorado na mediocridade narrativa. See more Terence Z @RT06588095 Jul 5, 2026 Fun, underated, and almost un-heard of, great film. See more Nicolas O @RT89499403 Jun 16, 2025 I saw it and thought it was a masterpiece among several films of the era. For me, the animation was good, and the dubbing fits the film perfectly. In my humble opinion, the story can make the viewer feel like it was worth seeing. See more Michael A @Mike2525 Mar 30, 2025 My 5 year old loved it! Very cute movie. See more Lindsey C @RT45060723 Dec 21, 2024 Underrated children's movie. See more Tommy H @Tommy_Hollier Dec 12, 2024 I am very nostalgic for this film and it really impacts me to this day butttttt it’s not perfect its good and not outright bad but definitely very flawed See more Read all reviews
