Reaction: When animated movies fail at the box office, they tend to lose a lot of money for the studio. That is the case with The Young Heiress, ending writer Jacob Jones' streak of successful animated films at three.

"The Young Heiress is too long and too old-fashioned. There are some interesting sequences, and I did like the music for the most part, but the story is slow, has too many superfluous characters and takes forever to get from beat to beat." - Bobbie Gray-Smith, Sacramento Bee

"The Young Heiress is too probably old fashioned in terms of both story and music to find an audience today. It would have fit in greatly with Disney's live-action/animated films of the 1970's, but feels like a strange film to make today. The film is too long, but it is entertaining - even if the class Sherman Brothers songs don't always fit the plot or setting." - Sam Morris, Oregonian

"Another Jacob Jones animated film that this time acts as a welcomed throwback to a style that's almost dead and gone. It avoids typical trappings but doesn't mean it dodges some weak plotting points entirely. Hats off to the talented cast, whose performances manage to keep your attention to the credits. Got kids? Then trust me, they'll enjoy it most, in my opinion." - Frank Estelle, Boca Breeze

Rated PG for thematic material
