A perfect job combining instruments to characters and telling a story without words. Stays with you for life. A classic.

Cute animation accompanied with cute lil instrument sounds. I found the wolf terrifying as a kid. Now I look back on this with nostalgia

Claudio Humberto Gutierrez

Classic story, but maybe a bit slow for our modern sensibility.

Great musical characterization of Prokofiev along with good Disney animation. A gem.

I have very fond memories of this from childhood.

Classic. Love the music esp when the wolf comes.

It’s fine, not spectacular. A good way to introduce kids to musical themes.

Alejandro Molinar Sanchez

A film that I remembered from my childhood, it may not be spectacular, but it is well made.

If I had a child of my own I’d just play the music for them. The cartoon doesn’t add much at all. Kinda cute n charming, but not great.

It's always distracting when a voice actor's disinterestedly reading from a script, but the animation is pretty great.
