Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Often too cute for its own good, but overall such a pleasant change of pace from the usual documentary that it's a film worth seeing.

Steven D. Greydanus, Decent Films Guide
Notwithstanding the excessive cuteness of the anthropomorphizing title… an entertaining, original documentary about life in the harsh conditions of southwest Africa's Namib Desert… makes fine family viewing.
