Beautiful animation, a dark world with a set of great characters. Dramatic, fun, tense, and timeless!
A stunning and tear jerking animated masterpiece
One of the best films ever made animated or otherwise. The house raising scene alone makes me cry everytime thanks to Goldsmith’s score.
A sweet and uplifting magical realist story told in gorgeous animation.
The best Don Bluth animated film. There are some heavier themes for a children's movie but the story is good and the animation is beautiful.
I loved this as a kid. Older kids’ movies are the best
Outstanding story great humor takes a while to get into it very dark not for young kids
Weird animation, didn’t watch as a kid so I’m not really invested in it
I was afraid of this movie as a kid. I don't recommend for kids who scare easily.
This film is so good and so beautiful with such an adorable protagonist that I am mad for not seeing it as a kid. A great movie for all ages
