Review:
Disney has done a wonderful job restoring this classic film. The colors in the movie are crystal clear and much brighter than the original version, yet still preserve the feel of the old style hand drawn animation. Although there isn’t a lot of depth to the story line, the characters are charming and unforgettable. Some of the best scenes are those that are accompanied by the wonderful soundtrack this movie has to offer and with the restoration the songs are sounding better than ever. As a bonus on Disc 2, you’ll be see some great features on the background and making of this film. This DVD is one you and your family will enjoy again and again.
