Review

really doesn’t standout among the 49 other disney animated features. besides the computer animation (which i don’t like as much) the film also is weak from a musical perspective. the strongest aspects of little mermaid and beauty and the beast were the great songs. there were several classics in each of those films and this one had only one decent song (the dreams one in the pub). the story itself is fine and hits on many of the usual disney themes. i didn’t connect with the male hero like i have in their real classics. his journey didn’t come off as authentic for me. the secondary characters, too, weren’t as rich or plentiful. there was the chameleon and the horse, but nothing on the level of the furniture in the beauty and the beast or the seagull/crab in little mermaid or the genie in alladin. simply put this one wasn’t anywhere near the early classics like snow white and dumbo or those from the second great wave of little mermaid, beauty and the beast, alladin, etc.
