March 7, 2012the film that redeemed Disney during its fall in quality during the 1970's. So much care was put into making this film and in the end it worked. I get just as emotional watching this as 101 Dalmatians and The Lion King.

May 25, 2010Cute animated action film about a pair of mice who volunteer to rescue a cute little orphaned girl from a pair of kidnappers with pet aligators. I remember this film from long ago when I was a kid.

January 26, 2010It's a decent disney movie, but it's sort of bland in terms of storytelling. It's a little too much like the Great Muse Detective, just set in swampville. It is fun and has some good moments, mainly the crazy villains are what make the movie good.

Efficiently short, charming, mildly scary in unimportant ways, and occasionally very funny. Full Review

The Walt Disney animators returned to top form with this beautifully crafted and wonderfully expressive cartoon feature, the first major work to come out of the Disney studios in a decade. Full Review

The people who really need rescuing are the Disney animators and storymen, who seem uncertain whether to keep up the old studio traditions of cute characters and plush settings, or to branch out into ... Full Review
