VHS was MUCH better - but still a good movie
When I was 5 years old, I was introduced to this movie on VHS. It might not have been a good movie for a 5 year old, but I fell in love with it! Now as an adult I bought the movie on DVD, and I'm saddened on how horriable this remake is. While the animation is still very good and just as I remember it, they left a lot out. First they have 'edited' some of the swears out, which weren't even bad to begin with. Instead of 'cleaning' the words by adding "Darn You" they just left the mouth moving with nothing coming out of it.Some of the music is scratchy sounding at best, but still alright. (The duet should have been taken out, I agree, but America adds a great sound track to this movie). The artwork does appear to have faded in spots during the movie, but overall is still very good.If you do not own a VHS player, of course this DVD is the next best thing. If you can get your hands on the original VHS with the red sleeve *the first edition*, you'll be surprised with the small changes that overall impact the whole movie.
