A self-satirical spoof of past Disney cartoon masterpieces.

Rating: 8/10 (4 February 2009)

I have been amazed at the comments of those who hated this movie. They complain of the bad music, the syrupy plot and do not realize that this is Disney's parody of itself. All the characters from Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Bambi, animals and humans are brought to non-cartoon life as dirty pigeons, rats and roaches. If some viewers cannot get this, they lack a sense of humor. I am not an expert on music, but one of the tunes was catchy enough to have me humming it for an hour, and the fact that the three songs were nominated for an academy award should say something. I though the musical production was typical Disney, what you would see at a Disneyworld production, lots of glitz, costumes, color and movement. Watch it again in the right spirit this time.
