A Charming Classic Everyone Should Own
Though probably not the strictest in interpreting the legend (not that it has ever bothered Disney) this beautiful classic was a staple for my childhood and a delight to find again as an adult. With lighthearted songs, silly jokes (some of which I ONLY understand as an adult) and beautiful characters, it's nice to see relive the "Classic" feel of this movie. The complete absence of humans seems a rarity-- most of the others that come immediately to mind (Bambi excepted) have at least one or two human characters-- and it is enjoyable. The supporting characters offer the best humor-- Lady Cluck will always have me in stitches, Sir Hiss's facial expressions, body language, and prissy attitude (tough to achieve in a snake!), and Little John's contrast between rough and tumble and cooking is great. A frivolous and fun movie that should be added to everyone's collection.
