Skips and Changes a bunch of the book
As a kid I loved this animation, however, I had yet to read the book. Now that I have read the book, I find this rendition to be terribly lacking. It only hits the hilights and misses most of the key elements required to set up each scene. I was a little disappointed. I would strongly suggest seeing this rendition before reading the book, as you may be disappointed if you see it afterwards. Like I said, I loved it as a kid (before I had read the real story) and probably would love it now if I didn't know how it was supposed to be.
