This is the third time I’ve tried to
watch it. It’s supposedly based on Hamlet
after all, but the first two times I gave up after a few minutes. Wish me luck
this time.
Well, I seem to be watching the whole
thing but I’m not impressed. It’s OK but the animation is not up to Disney’s
usual artistic genius. The story and dialog are banal, the songs are mediocre
at best and there’s not much Hamlet about it. Oh wait, the father’s spirit just
said, ’Remember, remember, remember.’ Yay.
I really don’t understand the rave reviews. But yes, it’s OK.
