Surprised me. I was expecting mediocrity, and got real entertainment

Like another reviewer, I had seen the trailers and was expecting...not much. One of my daughters insisted on going, and my wife and I drew straws. I lost, so I had to go. Added to that, the show in our local theater was in 3D, a format I have never liked.
Imagine my surprise. The plot, though predictable (hey, it's Disney. you are expecting a SAD ending?) was well executed, with interesting characters, good script and storyline and what is becoming the usual: beautifully rendered animation. The 3D glasses looked and felt like slightly polarized sunglasses and the effect enhanced the experience.
Go see it. Happy ending and all.
I feel better now.
