About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gentle, old-school Disney adventure with cute heroes, a mean-spirited villain, and a touch of danger, like The Great Mouse Detective; Not for you if slow pacing or peril involving a child bothers you.
Pros: charming rescue duo; warm family adventure; fun side characters | Cons: slow stretches; forgettable songs; uneven animation quality
