Predictably underwhelming

Rating: 3/10 (27 June 2019)

I watched this with my 4 year old nephew, it was his first big screen "big kid" movie. I ended up convincing myself to stay and not use the child as an excuse. The story was bland and forced. Some things are not transferable beyond animated colors and songs. I was hoping to create a memory, similar to my first "big kid" movie, The Little Mermaid, but I knew going into it from my previous experience with Beauty and the Beast, that this was going to be another assault on my childhood and wallet! I'd like to see Disney use their vast wealth and power to create NEW stories from distant history! Instead of stealing old ideas from their own cutting room floors! I wouldn't bother spending any more money at Disney movies! They continue to flounder on other people's ideas and drown in everyone's childhoods!
