I just watched this forgotten Disney musical on Disney +, because I thought it could be nice. The duration seemed unusually long for a musical but I liked the plot so I gave it a go. It was a bad decision.
It's a movie that could have been better if it was shorter and had less characters. 2 hours it's too much, the first hour is pretty neat, then it just gets worse and by the last 40 minutes I just didn't care about the story anymore and wanted it ended already. There's simply too much going on, not enough character development and too many subplots that don't go anywhere and make the film innecesarily long. Lots of songs, which are fine, but not memorable, no wonder any of the songs is remembered 6 years after this movie was released.
The photography and costumes are also very nice with beautiful landscapes and well done costumes, but does it really matter if the movie it's not worth watching? Only recommended if you really like musicals and fairy tales. Also not for children, they're going to be extremely bored as well.
