What's not to like ? Apart from a slightly mawkish family-friendly plot, which is best ignored.

I've heard it's best watched in randomly re-arranged segments, just to leave the visuals behind and destroy the plot.

We're probably off to see it soonish, if we can fit it into our remarkably busy social calendar.

That would work. And, actually, the plot might have been more comfortable if it had just been a bit quicker. The thing spends so much time looking lovely that it is quite slow.
