Almost better for the adults than the kids!

Rating: 9/10 (6 June 2008)

Loved this story. As I watched this thoroughly entertaining movie, it occurred to me that it is almost better watching for the adult audience--recalling the fairy tale princesses of our childhood, lost and confused in the reality of New York, still portraying her sweet charm and innocence of the animated stories of old in spite of the cynicism of reality. Of course children will love the movie, too, but adults will view it from a whole different perspective than the kids do. Before going, I wasn't' too sure about what I would see, and was actually pretty skeptical. However, I was more than pleasantly surprised. Part cartoon, part musical, part romance, it entertains from opening to ending.
