There are literally no words to describe this movie. First of all, who's idea was it to take this tragic story and turn it into a cutsie musical lovefest? What's next, Chernobyl: The Legend Goes On? Second, I could get past it being a musical if the songs were any good. The rapping dog song made me pause the movie for a full 10 minutes before I could muster up the strength to continue
and looking back I should have stopped there, although I suppose I could listen to that song when I'm sick to induce vomiting. The animation, if you could call it that, struck me as lazy fill-in-the-blank faire and I swear some of the colours seem faded, smudged, or even unfinished. But the worst part, and this is saying something, is the rather astounding numbers of characters
and moments ripped right from Disney or Bluth. Cinderella is the most obvious one but there's also a group of Dalmatians and a pair of bungling thieves and their leader who's a lady with striped hair (101 Dalmatians), a family of Russian mice (An American Tail), a kleptomaniac bird (The Secret of NIMH), the rapping dog looks suspiciously like Jock from Lady & The Tramp,
and Sherlock Holmes even makes an appearance. I'm honestly surprised that the iceberg didn't get to sing in this mess that steals from several from better movies. The one star is for the song Hold Me.
