Skippy Ratings & Reviews
The New Masses
Harry Alan Potamkin
Redemption is the keynote of every American film. Bourgeois society is a coupon. Skippy puts its bid across through the popularity of young children as players.
TV Guide
A charming children's picture that doesn't neglect adults.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Norman Taurog won the Best Director Oscar for this charming tale, based on Crosby's comic strip featuring child star Jackie Cooper in one of his endearing performances.
Film and Felt
Gabe Leibowitz
Skippy is very effective at showing the world through a child's eyes: issues like class divides, deep pockets and public perceptions are meaningless.
Variety
Variety Staff
Cooper's playing could not be improved upon.
New York Times
Mordaunt Hall
This youthful player [Jackie Cooper] gives a truly remarkable portrayal in a film that is endowed with wholesome amusement and affecting tenderness.
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
Aside from Cooper's performance, the best thing about the film is its grasp on what it was like to be a kid.
