Technically Brilliant, Comfortable Storyline

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 2019)

Viewed from the perspective of a 74-year old who sat next to his 8-year-old grandson. I had never seen the original but he had.
Most importantly: the "1" ratings here are political statement. Most of us have known for a long while Hollywood is pretty short on new story lines/ideas.
Yet, the technically brilliance demonstrated here is breathtaking.
The story line is pretty simple...the triumph of good over evil... but one must ask: who is the target audience? My grandson made comments along the way how the story tracked closely with the one he already knew. But he loved the movie. That is the only test that matters.
Before seeing the movie, I had read comments about emotionless faces of the characters, but i saw enough emotion to carry the story.
"Perfect is the enemy of good." This is a very good movie for its target audience.
(And I am put off by the political correctness of lots of Disney product these days.)
Note: I intended to rate this an "8".
