Adventure, romance and fabulous travel opportunities, all for a few bucks. [23 Dec 1994]
An efficient, good-looking production that amounts to the kind of safari with which Disney's customers will feel comfortable. [23 Dec 1994, p.53]
The narrative shifts from romance to adventure the way Cheetah used to hop from foot to foot, but Sommers nevertheless delivers a bully family picture.
Sommers is so busy spinning his camera, crowding the soundtrack with animal noises and piling on the cheesy visual effects that he can't stop for a reflective moment or a character-revealing touch.
Stunning production design, smart pacing, and a well-handled romantic angle make for a seamless, if undemanding, entertainment.
This is nothing more than a half-hour Ramar of the Jungle episode, blown up to motion-picture length.
