Criticism

In addition to Lee, perhaps the " best Disney villain in years" are, above all, the two child actors " matured, while still somewhat empathic " would be allowed.
Janet Maslin of The New York Times " tired of all the good and clean" teachings of a Disney movie. Rather, they would have more fun with the two supernatural children desired. Besides the few " truly funny moments ," she praised the lead performances, especially by Christian Juttner, the most " steal the show ". However, they criticized addition to the cheap effects and the " downright cruel Director " of Hough.
The lexicon of the International film saw in the movie only " Disney entertainment in the sci-fi garb ".
