Mostly deserving of its popularity

Rating: 8/10 (16 April 2017)

It's weird how this has a high rating yet some of the most popular reviews on this website are of the negative kind. I guess the Walker brothers were on to something. I was quite impressed at how loyal it was to the original Disney movie. I guess it's hard to consider this a live-action version of a cartoon when it's simply a fairy tale that most people are familiar with. If it is one, it's easily one of the best ever made. I was mostly impressed by how beautiful this film looks. The CGI is really good in this. I especially love how they make the objects just come alive.
My favorite part in this movie is my favorite part from the original movie. It's where the house objects fight the angry mob. I'm just so impressed at them actually winning. There is one thing that really bothers me. This film was advertised as having the first openly gay Disney character, even though LaFour only dances with a man for a few seconds. This was done better in the last episode of "Gravity Falls" much better with the sheriff and deputy. Still, this is a good movie with great atmosphere with really good pacing, not easy for a longer movie. Thanks for including the classic songs from the original. ***
