Family fun

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2011)

I sat down to this movie because my daughter almost dragged me along, so wasn't expecting much from it for 2 reasons. 1- CG- everywhere you turn new cartoons are getting done in cg and now 3d. and 2- Disney. Can't remember the last really good Disney film I'd seen.
BUT, I'm glad my 7 year old dragged me along! This was brilliant, from artwork through to storyline, and characterisation. The humour was well done, and some of it subtle for the adults.
My daughter laughed out loud at the wardrobe gag (watch and you'll know which part I'm typing about), & the interplay between the horse and Flynn.
My wife and I enjoyed the story and the comedy was done that it enhanced the story. It didn't seem that this was a case of throw thousands of sight gags, one liners and set pieces and see if any stick.
Now it's a Disney movie so you know Happy Ever After is pretty much guaranteed, but it's a fun journey to get there! If you've got children, go and see it with them! Or go and see it with your friends!
