Slow start, great finish

Rating: 8/10 (2 February 1999)

It took a little while to get going, but once it did, this film is on a par with any of the recent Disney animated greats. The animation, although not nearly on the level of most recent efforts, did grow on me after some time, and did seem to fit the movie fairly well. The humour was certainly hit-and-miss, but the story was generally fine and the ending was particularly enjoyable. So even with a relatively lackluster beginning, this film eventually did display the terrific animated storytelling that Disney does so very well, and so I can heartily endorse this film.
