About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a classic, song-filled fairy tale with charming humor and a darker edge, especially if you like Cinderella or Pinocchio; Not for you if you need modern pacing or dislike vintage sweetness.
Pros: gorgeous vintage visuals; memorable songs; fun comic sidekicks | Cons: thin story; simple characters; some scary moments
