"Animated with great verve, and scored very well."

The New York Times

The New York Times

"Fantasies that are gratuitously sexist and Fascist ... feed the tangled plot-lines."

"Some of the animation is first-rate."

"A boisterous blend of dynamic graphics, intriguing plot premises and sly wit that unfortunately slide gradually downhill."

"Fantasia for heshers."

"Outrageous and occasionally brilliant."
