About
You might enjoy this if you like animated musicals with fairy-tale romance and familiar songs, somewhat like Cinderella or The Swan Princess: Kingdom of Music; Not for you if dated cultural portrayals and broad silliness bother you.
Pros: memorable songs; colorful setting; family-friendly fantasy | Cons: dated stereotypes; messy story; awkward comic relief
