So fun and the opening credits in this movie are so beautiful - and underrated Miyazaki that still bears much of his signature components (flying vehicles, odd character pairs, anachronistic setting) paired with a different art style and more straightforward adventure movie tone that still has a hint of his later dreamy charm.

Director Hayao Miyazaki brings a welcome sense of humor to this adventure story. [05 July 1991, p.16]

Austin Chronicle by Marc Savlov

So ingratiatingly good-humored that it's hard to take it seriously enough to complain. Sure, it's no great triumph of moviemaking, but it is entertaining, and a more or less plausible way to kill 95 minutes on a Saturday afternoon.

The A.V. Club by Tasha Robinson

This caper film possesses Miyazaki's usual good-hearted charm, but he injects a manically energetic humor that his more sedate children's films never quite achieve.
