Bravo to Disney for returning to hand drawn animation. To much of the animation is computerized and lack the quality of the older animation films. The animation was at it's top notch and brought memories of "Sleeping Beauty" with some of the evil characters created. The movie contained magic in the form of vodoo. As all of the Disney animated movies of the past, the movie contained music,had animal and human connections, and a love story to tell the story.

I have always enjoyed the way that Disney pairs popular songs to the story and its combination. The music was nice, but didn't quite have the same quality and connection. Although, I hope that Disney continues to make more "old school" Disney animaitions paired with music.

The romance in the film had its charm and whimsical feel. The "ever After" appeal definately showed itself. The characters protrayed in the story were ones you could sympathize and connect with. We all have worked hard to achieve dreams and goals. Disney again shows its viewers that as long as you believe, and work for it, anything is possible.

The movie is a wonderful welcome return of the hand-drawn Disney animation I grew up to. I hope that they continue to mix their future movies with some more "old school" Disney animation.
