Reception
American magazine TV Guide gave the film one star out of four, stating:
LITTLE BIGFOOT turns every character into a one-note bore: the Evil Businessman, the Perky Mom, the Cute Sister, etc., all the better to piledrive its conservation message home. There's no subtlety or relief from the chest-pounding self-righteousness, as sorrowful Bilbo literally hugs the stumps of murdered redwoods.[1]
