-
A delightfully twisted fairy tale that artfully juggles broad tomfoolery and sly drollery, along with a generous serving of sight gags enhanced by special effects.”
– Joe Leydon, VARIETY -
“The contrast of light and dark, good and evil, enlightenment and ignorance, innocence and corruption is the heart of this absurd, insightful, sincere, very funny fairy tale of a movie.”
– Hollis Chacona, AUSTIN CHRONICLE -
“A zingy self-empowerment fantasy for kids.”
– Edward Guthmann, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE -
“A blackly comic, delightfully off-the-wall picture that both kids and adults will lap up.”
– Caroline Westbrook, EMPIRE
