Slightly Disappointing But A Good Movie All The Same

Rating: 6/10 (22 August 2013)

Just seen the movie and although it's very enjoyable, I don't feel it's half as good as the original (which has a very special place in my heart)
Being a Disney movie there was of course a pre-movie short animation, in this case titled 'the blue umbrella' which was very similar in plot to the one that opened wreck-it Ralph. However whereas that was good looking and appeared unrealistic, this seemed almost as though it was shot on film.
This high quality production continued into the film itself, which was bright and colourful with the odd dark scene used to reflect those more conflict driven parts of the plot, something we have seen Disney be effective at in most, if not all of their animations.
The plot itself felt somewhat underdeveloped, sure it can't be too complex for the children in the audience but this came across as being quite predictable and that certain moral messages (such as 'it doesn't matter what you look like') where briefly brought up and brushed aside before they could be fulfilled
