About
You’ll like this if you enjoy old-fashioned fairy-tale adventures like Snow White or The Witches, with songs, sweetness, and mild scares; Not for you if dated kids’ fantasy feels too silly.
Pros: charming fairy-tale mood; memorable gingerbread house; fun witch performance | Cons: slow middle stretch; some annoying songs; dated low-budget feel
