If you like classic Disney animation, this is for you!

Rating: 10/10 (7 March 2008)

I saw this film tonight, and I have to admit, I totally loved it! Disney finally made a good movie, the first in several years. It is a loving tribute to the classic animated Disney movies, particularly the ones made from 1937-1959 and 1989-1999. If you are a big fan of those movies, you will love pointing out the little references they made to those films here (a pizzeria is called the "Bella Notte Restaurant," Robert Phillip's ball outfit resembling the Beast's suit) The animation seen at the beginning and the end, though it was obviously outsourced, was very good. It looked like classic Disney at its best! The whole plot with Giselle and Edward not understanding the harsh reality of modern New York City actually made for an interesting plot. My favorite part was when Giselle sang out the apartment window and attracted the pigeons, cockroaches, rats and other NYC pest animals to help tidy up the house ala "Snow White!" The chipmunk was rather amusing when he was in the real world, with his unintelligible high-pitched "real world" voice and pantomime. Overall, I highly recommend this film if you absolutely love the great animated Walt Disney Classics!
