Critics' reviews
- "It is the kind of film that enables adults to get in touch with their inner child - but more important, gets children in touch with their inner adult"
- "These lessons in multiculturism and tolerance should fall easily on young viewers only expecting to be entertained"
- "Unlike Omri's plastic toys, The Indian in the Cupboard never comes to life"
- "Like many of the classic works for children, it is finally about the rough passage to adulthood (...) In a year of wonders for children this quiet film still manages to impress."
- "The Indian in the Cupboard unfolds with absorbing logic to tell a tale in the best of children's story tradition"
