Do yourself a great favor and see it

Rating: 10/10 (2 September 1999)

For so many reasons this is a great movie. A great story, incredible, spirited animation, an engaging device to teach a wonderful moral and one of the best endings of all time. My children will grow up with this as a staple. Absolutley none of the pandering or sickly sweet add-ons that have ruined animation in the past few years. See this movie if for no other reason than to watch animation without Elton John or Celiene Dion all over the soundtrack. When a friend told me Brad Bird worked on "The Simpsons" and "King of the Hill" it made sense to me what an animation director does- he puts a heart into the work.
