About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a classic, feel-good family musical with lots of memorable songs and whimsical set pieces, similar to Bedknobs and Broomsticks; not for you if you dislike long runtimes or episodic storytelling.
Pros: catchy songs; warm family message; magical, playful adventures | Cons: thin central plot; overlong runtime; some sequences drag
