Enchanting

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2017)

This is my all-time favorite tale of Disney's since I was a little child. It has a heroine whose brain isn't overshadowed by her beauty. It has a story of redemption and giving another chance. It has exquisite music and memorable lyrics. The antagonist and his sidekick are over-the-top hilarious which is more than welcome. It's a full package of family entertainment with guaranteed satisfaction.
This is one of the rare times when I prefer an adaptation work to the original book(s). Having already read both books by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve (1740) and Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont (1756), I can bravely declare that the tweaks of Disney's story-line paid off and added a lot of charm to the original old tale. The people behind this movie did a marvelous job. It was totally worth being the first animated movie to be nominated for Best Picture in the Academy Awards.
