My impressions

I guess almost everyone knows the tale and for me the animated version remains the standard.

This is a good effort despite its shortcomings. The story line still tugs at your heart strings at the appropriate moments. You root for the hero and wish those who have evil intentions will get their just dues.

As a lot depended on the songs, the lyrics convey a lot. The actors may not be natural singers but had enough gumption to carry it through.

A satisfying trip to the cinema.
