Review
"Our audiences loved it. Kids hissed at the witch and shouted 'do it' as Gretel hesitated before pushing her into the oven...Excellent for stimulating talk about scary feelings and things. Great for mask-making, dramatizations, and mime. A four-star film for all ages." --"More Films Kids Like" by Gerry Laybourne and Maureen Gaffney
Review
"(Bearskin) has the pungently bleak and chilly look of The Conqueror Worm or The Wicker Man or one of those other bleaky-chilly British horror pictures...but it's playfully creepy rather than horrific...except for one or two abrupt exits, it is a model of short filmmaking, suitable for imaginative children and not so innocuous as to bore adults." --Tom Shales, The Washington Post, June 30, 1984
