A stunning first feature by ex-Disney employees that puts Disney's THE FOX AND THE HOUND to shame. It's too bad the story -- two stories, really, not very well integrated -- isn't up to the level of the artwork. The film has a schizophrenic tone in its attempt to be both dark and adult, and cutesy and family-oriented.
*** Kyle Counts
The latest in this year's crop of films Disney probably wishes it made. The animation is nice and, if the backgrounds seem a bit static, at least they're detailed and charmingly colored. But the bottom line is: can today's urban audiences identify with rats as heroes?
