I initially had no plans to ever watch this movie but I decided to give it a try. The animals in it were adorable and it was a very clean, family friendly movie.

A sweet-natured family adventure film that should be quite popular with the grade-school girls at which it's aimed.

The movie's dated, stereotypical comedy often contradicts its wholesome intentions, coming across as laboriously cutesy and occasionally perverse.

The film's an oddity -- an engaging, slightly overcooked fantasy about a castaway-island girl and the agoraphobic San Francisco novelist who comes to her rescue.
