Smart, taut, deliciously funny

Rating: 8/10 (12 March 2002)

A joy... for adults as well as children.
A ripping script - devoid of padding - and superbly voiced. One of the rare exceptions to the 'they don't make 'em like that anymore' rule.
And the opening cartoon is just as good. In fact the word seems to have gone out about this gem, and most people know they mustn't miss it.
Delightful, wickedly funny, poignant, surprising.
Good 'old-fashioned' fun.
Intellect and intelligence, imagination and wit.
Priceless.
