About
You may enjoy this if you want a classic-style animated musical with a tiny-world adventure and lots of songs, like Quest for Camelot; Not for you if you’re sensitive to dated messages, stereotypes, or a plot that feels scattered.
Pros: cute fairy-tale vibe; a few memorable songs; colorful animated world | Cons: messy, jumpy plot; passive, frustrating heroine; uncomfortable themes, stereotypes
