Reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Relatively painless cuddly animal adventure, unswervingly true to form and as cute as they come but quite pleasingly photographed. The seals, who show considerably more animation than their human co-stars, may appeal to undemanding children, and the poaching scenes are realistic enough to give accompanying adults qualms about sealskin coats."^[3]
