Over the top in all the wrong ways

Rating: 4/10 (22 January 2020)

I watched this when it first came out in the theatres a couple years ago and left disappointed so I thought I'd try it again to see if my opinion had changed- it hasn't. I thought the acting overall was quite good and liked how the writers added to the story but the special effects are just too fake looking throughout the entire movie, especially the servants as furniture. It's a story better suited to animation.
For me this movie was too over the top in all the wrong ways which is disappointing given the talented actors and the story itself.
If you like big, colorful, lots of special effects musicals then this is the movie for you. If not then skip it and stick to the original animated version.
