7/10
“A satisfying enough fantasy-adventure that can appeal to older kids (let’s say 10 and up), making it a great gateway into other classics from the ‘80s and ‘90s.” –

6/10
“Tends to get so disgusting and grotesque, it’s hard to recommend to anyone who doesn’t have an iron stomach and the constitution for watching a movie that more than earns the descriptor of being “ugly.”” –
