Alright for what it is - silly fun

Rating: 6/10 (7 April 2012)

Although, I am definitely not the target audience for animated movies about lost princesses and evil stepmothers, I am always tempted to see anything animated from Disney, and especially in CGI.
The show doesn't open well. I am getting a little tired of funny narration and the opening song left me a little sick to my stomach. When the evil stepmother breaks into song too, (what she actually is, I won't spoil it for those who may not have seen it yet), needless to say didn't help matters much.
Things recover a little bit after we are introduced to the gentleman thief. Though, he is nowhere as rogue as I would like (this is after all Disney), I liked this character enough to keep watching. When the lost princess shows a little spunk as well, that's when my interest really kicked in.
Now for the best part: Can you believe that it is a song? I couldn't believe it either. It's corny, predictable but handled in such a way that I was surprised I was laughing so much during it. Tough guys with soft hearts have been covered since the silent film days, but whatever. Just look at the scene and you will laugh your head off.
The conclusion is again a little predictable and it made me a little sad that the second act didn't sustain itself into the third. Still, the animation is beautiful as is expected from a Disney feature plus that horse is pretty funny too.
