Instant Disney classic

Rating: 9/10 (1 December 2010)

Another Disney formula animated feature that works. A new girl power "Princess" with a cute side kick animal and the wicked (sort of) step mother combine in a hair raising and falling tale.
Overlook the male lead is a thief. Throw in a terrific horse named Maximus, assorted softy ruffians and it all comes together in a musical, romantic comedy, adventure.
At over ninety minutes it might be a tad long for younger children.
Beautiful animation, subtle 3D effects, and a Broadway type musical score, complete with production numbers, make this a treat for kids and adults.
