"It's no classic like Freaks, but it's distinctly fun, with appropriately melodramatic performances by a delightful cast. The secret "toy" factory in the toyshop is minimalist for conveying weird scientific equipment but it's a nice set even so, & the FX for shrunken animals & people are likewise kept simple but very appealing. So if you're in the "mood" for experiencing & appreciating period horror it's authentically scary stuff. A viewer who can't quite relate to it in the spirit of its era will yet enjoy it, but probably find it a mite comical, which is still enjoyable." - Paghat the Ratgirl, Weird Wild Realm
