Critic Reviews:
- " Probably the best film of its sort since The Wizard of Oz. It is
everything that family movies usually claim to be, but aren't: Delightful,
funny, scary, exciting, and, most of all, a genuine work of imagination.
" – Roger Ebert
- " Great fun, with Wilder for once giving an impeccably controlled
performance as the factory's bizarre owner. " –
Chuck Bowen
- " The film makes exceptionally shrewd use of references children can
understand and appreciate. " – John Mahoney
