A new classic (?), but not for the kids

Rating: 8/10 (15 August 1999)

+ and - points:

+ music well integrated in movie; finally a Disney movie where the songs do not suddenly appear for the need of a song but because some music is required.

Phil Collins still makes the same music as 20 years ago; we know the trick by now Phil, try something new (and NEVER EVER sing another song in a foreign language!)

+ a lot of action, not just action sequences that are required to get young parents with their children in the theater.

it's so much action that the Disney cuteness disappears a little. The average age of the visitor Disney aims at is increasing (children below 4 don't buy toys and the ones below 13 don't have much to spend)

+ a solid story (for an American movie, that is); only the musical scene in the camp jumped out, but that one's for the toys again)

Total: This might become one of the new classics. Though it's better than missers as Pocahontas and Mulan it's not a good as the Lion King and certainly has not the class of Bambi of the Jungle Book
