The cheery result is enough to renew one's faith in Uncle Walt and the boys - a family picture that transcends the cliche, a light-bright romp where the sentiment isn't cheap and where the action isn't childish. Now there's a novelty item for you. [27 June 1989]

The director, Joe Johnston, paces this adventure to suit the film's tone. It is swift and smooth, never wild or raucous.
