United States	Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune	"A real masterpiece of puppetry and special effects, an absolutely gorgeous children's fantasy movie"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"The movie is an impressive production (...) The David Bowie soundtrack is fine, yet there's something missing. It never really comes alive (...) Rating. ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Nina Darnton The New York Times	"A fabulous film about a young girl's journey into womanhood that uses futuristic technology to illuminate a mythic-style tale, is in many ways a remarkable achievement."	POS
United States	Wesley Morris Boston Globe	"A movie you need to see when you're 11 (...) There are some nifty sequences (...) Still, there are so many scenes of Connelly and the men in Muppet costumes just running around the sets"	NEU
United States	Tasha Robinson AV Club	"[It's] full of charmingly weird critters and colorful, child-friendly adventures (...) Henson had an unequalled talent for crafting worlds too perfectly realized to be disbelieved."	POS
United States	Nick Schager Slant	"The film never quite strikes the comfortable balance between ominous scares and cuddly cuteness that always defined Henson’s best work (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
