About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a simple, old-school animated fairy tale with romance, musical numbers, and a creepy villain; Not for you if you need tight plotting or subtle humor—try Anastasia or The Princess and the Frog instead.
Pros: pretty hand-drawn animation; fun animal sidekicks; sweet fairy-tale vibe | Cons: thin story logic; uneven humor; songs not memorable
