    Some cartoonist at Disney should look and take notes...
    ...because it's a lot of time their million-dollar masterpieces do not > provide this kind of innocent fun, almost trading an entertaining story for > graphical impact. > > Astounding. A marvellous, poetic cartoon for both children and adults alike. > Graphically poor, almost childish, manages anyway to amuse and touch the > spectator's heart. Even if it was bad, it'd be worth seeing just for the > mice leader.
