Jeffrey M. Anderson
In 1981, this may have been state of the art animation, but now it looks rudimentary, clunky, and flat. The writing, likewise, is flat. ( Read More )
Variety Staff
Initial segments have a boisterous blend of dynamic graphics, intriguing plot premises and sly wit that unfortunately slide gradually downhill. ( Read More )
Derek Adams
Fantasies that are gratuitously sexist and Fascist (macho whoring and warmongering), and whose roots reach all the way back to post hippie paranoia, feed the tangled plot lines of a movie that... should disappoint even the teenage wet dreamers. ( Read More )
Barry Walters

Marc Savlov
