Disney really don't want to abandon the has-been successful formula. A predictable, contrived narrative that is brought to substance, and more than compnensated for by: the 'Disney-isms' (spot the Disney reference: Aristocats, Cinderella, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast), the numerous and multiple musical numbers, and the richly embellished characters. A random curiosity: that the main black/african carribbean has a striking resemblance to Obama - as if the production needed this for added likeability...
Enjoyable, and entertainng spectacle nonetheless (with a few awkwardly forced moments of poignancy shoved into the feature) though not as emotional or stimulating as what the best of Disney had to offer.
Randomly, if I was the Director of Disney, I would consider a new strategy... You (Disnety execs) need to abandon the old methods. You need to get back to the core of what Walt Disney stood for: his ideals, his ideas, his spirit. Let originality flow from there. We don't want to see a repeat or rehash of the stock Disney classics, it's regressive, and stunting. They belong to a past age, where more often than not, such works have achieved a 'classic' status. You need to take some steps back, and get back to basics.
