Superb, but...
This film is superb. I watched it many times as a kid, and am thrilled to be able to watch it again as an adult. It's one of the rare few films with more than enough wonder to hold the attention of a child, yet enough depth and honesty to touch the soul of a grown up; a deeply meaningful, poinient animated fantacy classic. Another reviewer described it as the "best animated film ever," and while I'm not quite bold enough to echo that sentiment, at the moment, I can't quite seem to think of one that surpasses it.That said, I'm deeply irritated by the edits that were made. The producers who did it should be ashamed of themselves for altering a single word. Who exactly did they think they were protecting? Or was it just a money thing? Stupid fools. Unchanged, it would easily get 5 stars, but in good concience, I must give this version of the dvd only 4 stars for that reason alone.
