Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

Considering its a Wonderful World of Disney movie, I'd say B-.
I consider Cinderella the best out of the Wonderful World of Disney movies that they have done and Annie the worst with this one average. This one was very oddly shot in terms of musical numbers and had weird casting (Tracy Ullman?!) But I thoroughly enjoyed Carol Burrnet and Denis O'Hare!!
B-. Watched it with my young children, both of whom enjoyed the singing, but thought the queen looked scary and the prince and princess were too old. They enjoyed the songs, though. Both wanted to see more of the jester. I thought it was harmless and mildly entertaining. Would've benefitted from better sound editing, so the lipsynching actually synched.
The work is what it is - certainly not my favorite musical by any means - but I did like what Kathleen Marshall did with a LOT of the movie - especially the big dance numbers.
HUGE praise for Carol Burnett & Tracy Ullman (who I unexpectedly liked)
VERY NICE job by Matt Morrison & Dennis O'Hare (even if he was a bit mis-cast in the role.
F -- Kathleen Marshall's choreography was HORRID. It looked like a junior high production. I LOVE Tracey Ullman, but she was miscast. And I was completely disappointed with her singing. For something that wasn't sung live, many of the performers were wavering around trying to find the pitch. I also LOVE Carol Burnett, but I think she was allowed to mug too much. The only thing I liked were the costumes.
