About
You’ll like this if you want a Disney animated romance with beautiful visuals and memorable songs that also prompts big questions about respect and nature; Not for you if you only want history-accurate storytelling like documentaries or if you find similarly themed Disney entries like Aladdin or The Lion King more engaging.
Pros: gorgeous animation; catchy songs; thoughtful themes | Cons: predictable romance; shallow characterization; uneven pacing
