I must admit that I always feel those who praise this film haven't read the book. The story is told so much better there. The animation isn't up to Disney's usual standard, but far more importantly the entire story, including the noble and tragic ending, has been disneyfied, because we can't have people sacrificing their lives for their friends in a kiddie's movie. Oh no. It might upset people. They didn't want to tell the wonderful story which is there, and instead produced a drab, flat throwaway filler piece before their next big film. The only consolation is that there's no songs.
Read the Chronicles of Prydain. Read Lloyd Alexander's 'The Black Cauldron'. Tell me I'm wrong.
