You could wish upon a star and not conjure up a more joyous animated movie than this graceful retelling of the Hans Christian Andersen tale.
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Within the apparently necessary aesthetic and ideological limitations (such as making the hero and heroine Americans surrounded by foreign servants a la Pinocchio), the animation manages to be fairly energetic.
-
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
A fantastic success.

Variety Staff, Variety
May represent Disney's best animated feature since the underrated Sleeping Beauty in 1959.
-
Janet Maslin, New York Times
A marvel of skillful animation, witty songwriting and smart planning.
