ProductionSponsored by the Children's Film Foundation,[4] the film was classified as "universal" suitable for audiences aged four years and over.[5] ReceptionThe Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A rather leisurely children's film whose main attraction is a huge lion, magnificent in appearance but disappointingly (if understandably) lethargic in performance. Guest appearances from Jimmy Edwards, Irene Handl and Joe Brown eke out a very flimsy narrative; and though the few snatches of suspense and bits of mild comedy may be acceptable makeweights for younger children, the pace is generally too slow to generate more than a modicum of excitement."[6] References
