Not Original

Rating: 7/10 (15 January 2020)

I really have to rewatch the Original movie from the 90s. I remember I really liked it a lot. Having said that, for those who haven't seen that, they might be quite smitten by this effort. For those who hold it in high regard this might feel like an insult. As with many cases, the truth is somewhere in the middle.
The animation or rather the visuals or whatever you want to call the real life depictions of almost everything, is quite astonishing. So if nothing else this really looks good. The story is proven to engage, so they couldn't go wrong with that either. But they did add stuff and moved pieces around. Having a song that should play at night time sung during the day may be quite off putting. Other might feel that is nit-picking. Try to enjoy this for what it is, not what the original was ... otherwise it is more than likely you'll be dissapointed
