Unbearable movie

Rating: 2/10 (24 May 2003)

As a children's movie, this movie fails utterly. It is way too serious, children's movies should have some humour in them, and this one doesn't. The beast is always scary, and never is likeable. And the musical aspect of this movie is just infuriatingly annoying; a Disney feature-length cartoon is to some extent expected be a musical, but they just took that concept way too far in this one, almost every major scene is carried out in song; one bad song after another.
I don't know who is giving this movie such high marks, I know it certainly can't be children. Avoid this movie, some of the later Disney movies do much better at the humour aspect, such as Mulan, Lilo & Stitch, Hercules, etc.
