About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you love big Disney romance and musical fairy tales with plenty of familiar moments; Not for you if you want the original’s charm, strong chemistry, or a more spirited remake like Cinderella or The Little Mermaid.
Pros: stunning castle look; memorable songs; strong supporting cast | Cons: lifeless remake feel; weak chemistry; soulless CG objects
