A happy surprise

Rating: 7/10 (20 July 2019)

I was very sceptic going in, but the movie manages to preserve much of what was good about the original. I still get choked up at the same points in the story, and the animation is done superbly well. The lack of facial expressiveness didn't bother me by far as much as I thought it would either. The main drawback is the pacing of the story. It simply moves to fast between certain important sequences. The original will still always be my favourite, but this retelling will not at all hurt your memory of it.
