Disney magic at its best

Rating: 9/10 (26 May 2019)

I was a bit apprehensive before going to see this remake of one of my childhoods absolute movie highlights. But the apprehension turned out to be misplaced, as I ended up getting blown away by the experience. I felt 11 years old again, and totally spellbound by Disney magic.
The plot, of course, I's the same, but with added character and plot depth, and a feministic nod I really appreciated. The musical scenes were well executed and even goosebump&tear-inducing at times. I was awed by the sheer entertainment factor, and very happy to see the magic also worked on my two daughters (10 & 11 years old), who both had a somewhat tepid relationship to the original.
