"Perhaps a shade too long to hold the youngest viewers in permanent thrall, this is a family film in the truest sense - only the grouchiest bear won’t find something to like."  Sky Movies

"What makes Le renard et l’enfant stand out is its flawless technical execution, with highlights including two heart-pounding action sequences that do not directly involve the human redhead. The first sequence shows a hungry lynx relentlessly chasing the fox through the snow-covered forest and the second involves a pack of wolves determined to bring the fox down from its hiding place up a dead tree."
