Critic Reviews:
- " The combo of the amazing casting, animated fantasies, and gorgeous scenery all made this film seem REALLY real. " – Amie Simon (Three Imaginary Girls)
- " … a thoughtful, insightful, even philosophical portrait of lives worth living, regardless of timeframe. " – Neely Swanson (Easy Reader, California))
- " Pairing of drawings and live-action material help us get into Donald's head, but in a tamer manner, something that highlights the hope and makes it an enjoyable watch. " – Perri Nemiroff (Movies.com)
