Reviews:
School Library Journal: "In a play on words that carries throughout the story, Art, a young boy, joyfully tries his hand at all kinds of art."

Booklist: "Lively and engaging, this film is a perfect choice to encourage young viewers to create their own masterpieces."

AudioFile: "...the story takes flight with the innovations of Bobby McFerrin's narration...the story just soars."

Video Librarian Three Stars: "a jazzy animated paean to creativity...a winning valentine to budding artists that celebrates taking up the crayon, colored pencil, or bursh at an early age. Recommended."

ALA Notable Video Committee: "...the book swings to life in this musical be-bob film.'
