Being the 100th anniversary for the Disney Studios, there were a lot of expectations on this movie. Advertised and the celebration of the studio and all 61 past animated features, when it came out I felt a little disheartened hearing all the negative reviews. Since I began giving my own reviews, I’ve tried not to care too much about what others say on things. Wanting my own opinion instead..and honestly? I enjoyed this movie a lot! The art style was unique and beautiful, as well as the characters and songs. Going in, you don’t get a full understanding of the plot because we weren’t told much in the trailers. However, it turned out to follow a pretty standard Disney tale. We open with learning about our setting and meeting all the important characters. Then lead into the conflict and drama of trying to defeat the big bad. While I admit, I do wish that there could’ve been more development on some characters and more history on Rosas, you have to remember it’s a children’s film. It’s meant to last only 90 minutes at most, and there’s only so much that can be done. People nowadays seem too quick to judge things without seeing the larger picture. Could there have been more in the storyline? Yes. But for what it was, it was still a good movie! Overall, I thought this was very good, and it gave a nice tribute to the past 100 years of the Disney Company.
