Reception and Release
On its 1967 reissue, which included its first American showing, the film was generally received poorly from critics in North America, receiving an AMG rating of only two stars. Many critics cited how out-of-date the animation quality was, owing heavily to the long delay between its original creation and American dubbing. The film went unreleased on VHS until the mid-1980s and on DVD until 2005.

Famous quotes containing the words reception and/or release:
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“The steel decks rock with the lightning shock, and shake with the
great recoil,
And the sea grows red with the blood of the dead and reaches for his spoil—
But not till the foe has gone below or turns his prow and runs,
Shall the voice of peace bring sweet release to the men behind the
guns!”
—John Jerome Rooney (1866–1934)
