Following a few test screenings in December 1980, Warner Bros. opened the film to a limited release on January 9th, 1980, but positive critical feedback prompted the company to give the movie a wider release in theaters on February 20th, 1980. Vincent Canby of The New York Times said the film was "a surprisingly charming and wholesome fantasy-romance film". Roger Ebert gave the movie 3 out of 4 stars saying "If it weren't for the flat animation and a few story elements, I probably would've enjoyed this film more than I did, but even so I would consider this a pretty good film nonetheless."
