Leonard Maltin Video Review It has the most important ingredient for a good cartoon feature: an appealing main character. Rated: 3/4 •  May 19, 2023 Full Review Eleanor Ringel Cater Atlanta Journal-Constitution [It] celebrates the rich diversity of our melting-pot heritage; it doesn't insult kids (or adults) with fifth-rate Saturday-morning non-animation; and it gives us some wonderfully memorable characters that weren't already sitting on the Toys R Us shelves.
