★★★★★ Brilliant, entrancing, exhausting, and with thermonuclear showtunes from Richard and Robert Sherman, Disney’s hybrid live-action/animation classic from 1964 is now rereleased on home entertainment platforms for its 60th anniversary. ~ The Guardian.

★★★★★ This is easily the best of Disney's experiments in combining animation and live action, and one of the studio's best-loved films. ~ Radio Times.

★★★★ The film exerts a formidable charm and is technically very accomplished. In a magical sequence, Mary, Bert, and the children wander through an animated landscape filled with cartoon deer, rabbits, and even penguins. ~ BBC.

★★★★✭ There are a number of unforgettable song-and-dance sequences that stand the test of time, and the tale's overall subversiveness is distinctly appealing. ~ AllMovie.

★★★★ ~ The Telegraph.
