Posted: 12/13/07 at 1:24amI think it suffers in comparison to Mary Poppins, but it's still pretty entertaining.

Posted: 12/13/07 at 1:32amI used to be scared of it when I was little (I know, I know...), but now I realize that I really liked it.

Posted: 12/13/07 at 5:24amMake sure you get the full version, not the cut down American release.
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Rent it first. Then if you like it, buy it.
Oh, and Angela is delightful.
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

"Eglintine, Eglintine! Oh how you shine! Your lot and my lot, have got to combine!"
"Substituciary Locomotion!"
And the lovely Portabello Road Ballet sequence and the finale! A wonderful fantasy film! With Angela Lansbury perfectly charming, and David Tomlinson also wonderful! Love it.

I enjoy the "full" release that's on DVD, but only AFTER seeing the cut-down American release, which was much tighter and didn't overwhelm.
The "full" release is WAY too long, clocking in at nearly 3 hours... for no real reason.
So, keep that in mind when you buy/rent the DVD... and you suddenly think to yourself "this is ENDLESS." The DVD is not the movie as released in the U.S.
Also, it's a bit weird because they found the visual film footage, but not the audio tracks for many of the restored scenes. As a result, other than Angela, everyone else is being dubbed by different actors! The guy who dubs for the Professor doesn't remotely sound like him either! Neither do the child dubbers. Very strange.
All that said, I LOVE the movie, and it's very enjoyable for Angela, the music, and the animated sequence, which is a lot of fun.
I also recommend the original book(s) if you get the chance.

having recently rented this from Netflix, it makes sense that this was not what i remembered seeing as a kid. it DOES seem endless.
i'd be up for reading the books, however. it's a very fun story :)

Posted: 12/13/07 at 1:58pmI loved this movie as a kid. The music is fantastic (such hummable songs aren't written anymore), Lansbury is always great, but it's the late David Tomlinson who made the movie.

I used to use "The Age of Not Believing" as my "not-a-love-song-but-I-want-to-show-sensitivity-through-a-ballad" audition song. Complete with key change for the last sixteen bars.
