About
Enjoy upbeat, myth-inspired Disney fun with a big, showy villain and lots of heart, but Not for you if you want an accurate Greek myth retelling like Aladdin (1992) or Moana (2016).
Pros: fun, energetic adventure; standout villain; memorable characters | Cons: predictable plot; forgettable songs; mixed audience connection
