I had heard such good things about this film, and being that I enjoy animated films and that this one won an Academy Award, I decided to watch it on-demand one night.
While I can certainly see its appeal for younger kids, I was surprised to find that this lacked the type of accessibility for adults that most animated films have. Usually there's something there for everyone. This is very much exclusively a kids film. I didn't really get any enjoyment out of it.
This is more of a musical than anything else. I found that there were a lot more songs than your typical Disney film tends to have, even in comparison to some of the older ones. That in and of itself wouldn't have bothered me, but the songs were quite poorly-written and irritating. I much prefer the songs in the classic Disney films. However, I do think that Kristen Bell has a lovely voice.
I wasn't overly fond of the characters. I've heard some people say that this is a better take on the whole Disney Princess tale, a more feminist one. I still found it to be fairly cliché.
As I said, this is probably a great film for children, but it doesn't hold wide appeal like so many other animated films do.
