Nice girl is kept prisoner by apparently nasty beast. |
Reviewed by Chris Tookey
|
| Terrific songs, funny jokes, superb animation and a touching story - cannily updated with a touch of feminism - make this a rare treat, which can be enjoyed by people of any age, and compares favourably in all departments with classic feature-length cartoons such as Pinocchio or Lady and the Tramp. I have a couple of minor quibbles: if our heroine is so bookish and intellectually superior, how come she’s still only reading fairytales when she’s grown up? And isn’t our leading man more attractive as the Beast than he is at the end, transformed into an ultra-conventional Chippendale? But if you want to know why the enjoyable but flawed Aladdin became such a colossal hit in 1992/3, look no further than this, its immediate predecessor: a masterpiece. | |
