Fun movie, only good for one watch. There were lots of chances to turn this into a terrible movie, but they managed to get through. It would have been nice if they'd used old school animation for the fairy-tale world; instead it's a modern style, which is strange since modern "2D" animation isn't typically used for much other than TV shows. Although the acting and music are both bad, it doesn't really hurt the movie; they're both what they need to be.
