Actually, I have really mixed feelings about this movie.

Rating: 5/10 (18 March 2019)

Because it's a really competent made movie with gorgeous animation and beautiful voice acting. But it's hold back by a weird convoluted story, weak characters and I hate musicals.
My favorite character is Hans, for personal reasons, but even he is not a really fleshed out character because everything about him is a lie.
I like the message of love this is really the strong point about this movie, with a great build up and an even better pay off. It is one of the few films in which the victim has saved itself and in which "the love" of a couple is not in focus.
BUT even that is ruled by it's stupid fake out death. (And yes that annoyed me already while watching.)
Nevertheless, the film has not much to offer in terms of content, most of it is simply meaningless, it is just meaningless filler and it only tries to keep the children occupied instead of really entertaining or teaching them.
I openly admit after watching the movie I was happy for a week and wanted to tell everyone how much I like it. BUT when I really had to tell people what or why I liked it I noticed how much imade no sense, had no purpose and how stupid I felt.
This is not a junk food movie because even junk food can taste good, this movie is opium.
