An entertaining morality story

Rating: Null/10 (5 October 2002)

As a person in their mid 50's, I watched this with just my wife - no children or grandchildren as an excuse. We were pleasantly surprised at a slight departure for Disney - metaphors all over the place. The characters had to face up to the real problems of the work place, not the usual fairy tale pap. Basically its a story about the little man against the evils of big business, brilliantly told. The goodies are not super good but decent with consciences, whilst the bad are morally corrupt - far closer to reality than Disney has ever got before. We appreciated the humour of the 'out-takes' at the closing credits. All in all a kids film made for adults.
