Three Children's Classics from Janus Films a "very welcome trio of reissues"
At Eye Weekly, Jason Anderson reviews Three Children's Classics from Janus Films: "all three of these shorts demonstrate the level of artistry possible in films made for children, a genre seldom given the critical attention it deserves." Anderson singles out Paddle to the Sea for praise: "blessed with a first-rate transfer, [Paddle] proves once and for all that the most beloved character in the history of Canadian cinema is carved out of wood."
