...family are fully consonant with what we have been taught to believe are the experiences of our immigrant ancestors, and they are imaginatively enlivened by being rendered from a mouse's-eye view. The animation and the backgrounds occasionally fall below classic Disney standards, but the characterizations, both visual and vocal, are entirely endearing.

...Science, is significant not so much as a demonstration of virtuoso genetic engineering, but because it will provide scientists with a valuable research tool for studying how genes go about their business. By fusing the firefly gene to the genetic material of other plants and animals, biologists gain a visual cue $ that will help them understand in detail how genes -- strands of DNA whose structure acts as a sort of coded instruction manual -- tell different cells what their duties are within an organism. Armed with such specific knowledge, researchers may someday understand exactly why these instructions are occasionally garbled...

In all, the 160 religious representatives came from a dozen faiths throughout the world. The scene was extraordinary in its visual diversity, the purple robe of Robert Runcie, the Archbishop of Canterbury, contrasting with the black of Greek Orthodox Archbishop Methodios. Buddhism's Dalai Lama, traditionally regarded as a living deity, was in attendance, swathed in purple and yellow.
