This movie takes me WAY back, back in the days when I was around the age of 5. I would watch this movie non-stop,...right up until I was clumsy enough to break the only copy I had.

I really like this movie it's another one of Don Bluth's amazing animated films; at least in my opinion. The animation is pretty good, though Don's way of drawing animals is a little bizarre and the story isn't all that bad either.

However, if you are very protective and sensitive of what your children watch, then you may want to check this one out for yourself first. It's not like this a a cartoon of bloodfest and cussing or anything, it's just that Don's animated films tend to have a bit more of a maturity level, such as characters that bleed(just a little) and sometimes small suggestive themes. "All Dogs Go To Heaven" has dogs that gamble and smoke, and some murder(not brutal). So if you think your kids are not fit for this kind of stuff then don't watch.
