So this is what George Lucas is doing post Star Wars.
First off, the animation is as excellent as I'd expect coming from Lucas films. The character designed was fantastic. I specially loved the look of the Black forest were the would be antagonist lives and the Fairies, overall.
The story starts off weak but ends strong despite its mediocrity. It's no Disney formula but it works. An ensemble cast of characters try to use a love position to make the ones they love, love them back, and of course they learn that love does not come in a bottle, but how they learned this was very unique (in certain places)
I did not like the use of unoriginal songs. I understand why they did it from a business point of view, because of the popularity of things like Glee, but I feel it's lazy not writing your own songs and I hope this is not a new trend for animated films, Especially in animated films which, thanks to the Disney formula, we expect original content with the music composition instead of ripping off contemporary songs. That is the one place were we should not shun away from what Disney is doing.
Overall, an impressive animated film by Lucafilm made unimaginative by covering other people's songs.
