Reviews

The lexicon of international films wrote that the series "with its lovable anachronisms" experienced "an aesthetically congenial implementation" in the real film version. The "remarkable use of equipment and actors" seems to be "given away in view of the unimaginative plot".

Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times , "This is a great-looking movie, a triumph of set design and special effects that create a fantasy world somewhere between suburbs and prehistoric cartoon." ("This is a great-looking movie, a triumph of set design and special effects, creating a fantasy world halfway between suburbia and a prehistoric cartoon. ")

Kenneth Turan wrote in the Los Angeles Times of May 27, 1994 on page F1: “Like the Addams Family before it, this is one of those clever, vibrant, and ultimately tiresome pieces of flashy Hollywood machinery where a lot of creativity goes into optics flowed and only leftovers for the story and dialogues. ”(“ Like "The Addams Family" before it, this is one of those clever, lively and ultimately wearying pieces of showy Hollywood machinery where a glut of creativity has gone into the visuals with only scraps left over for the plot and the dialogue. ")
