Reception
In their review, the Dove Foundation praised the concept of the film, stating that, “Teaching your children how to make choices, and deal with what the outcomes of those choices might be, is hard to do,” and noting that each adventure can last twenty-minutes depending on the choices the viewer makes. Kidzworld gave it four stars and noted how the DVD makes a choice for the viewer after a certain amount of time. Dave Johnson, in review on DVD Verdict, also praised the overall concept of “multiple branching storylines” on a DVD and noted the colorful animation, anamorphic widescreen presentation and 5.1 surround sound. Colin Jacobson in a review for DVD Movie Guide said that the film’s color palette was a strength but found many aspects of the film to be generic and uninteresting; He also stated that the smoothness with which the story transitions is sometimes an issue and found one life-decision choice to be unfairly punishing.
