One of those most heartwarming films I've seen in years, and I'm not just talking about animated films!

Rating: 9/10 (4 December 2013)

What a treat! Stunning visuals, wonderful musical numbers, hilarious comedy, and full, confidently created characters in a magical Disney story made feel like a kid again. This is absolutely a must see.
The only critique I have is there were some character decisions and plot twists that were a little hard to buy, made so the story would move along in the direction Disney intended, but is a kid movie after all, and a small complaint aside the massive praise I lay on Disney's confident, masterful creation. It's not trying to be Pixar or Dreamworks, it's classic Disney in new form in absolutely the best way.
Gorgeous, hilarious and touching with moments that may make you well up, it's one of the most heartwarming experiences I've had at the cinema! Along with sweet and funny Tangled, it seems we might finally be seeing a continuation of, and even an improvement on, Disney's golden streak of classics in the early 90s The little mermaid, Aladdin, beauty and the beast and the lion King. You've got to see it in theaters!
