"So perfect is the illusion, so tender the romance and fantasy, so emotional are certain portions when the acting of the characters strikes a depth comparable to the sincerity of human players, that the film approaches real greatness."

—

Variety

"It is a classic, as important cinematically as The Birth of a Nation or the birth of Mickey Mouse."

—

The New York Times

"To one degree or another, every animated feature made since owes it something."

—

Roger Ebert

"The spooky bits are suitably scarey - the production dates back to a time before anybody worried about mentally scarring the little mites, thus the "Have a bite, dearie" scene means a lot of excited peeping through fingers..."
