All my students see this movie at some point between leaving high school and when I meet them as university students. Sometimes, their Chinese university teachers show it to them in class. So, I thought I'd see why they love it so much. I'm still wondering. This is a two-page short story, not a film. But on the bright side, if you skip all the songs it's under an hour. I've never enjoyed a singing toon in my life. Rating: 2 / 5 Yep, Disney animation.

People tend to criticize only the work of two or three characters, but they forget to see the whole work, and to be Fair and square I had a good time watching it, It had very good special effects, maybe not the whole cast was right for the role, but may be the failure is that unlike "Twilight" and "Harry Potter", this one in particular had no "Hot" guys and gals, to me it's kind of the same thing. <br />A mystical place of imaginary characters that come out of a book or animated series like Batman or Superman.
