This is the perfect example of what I don't like about Disney. It is like the movie pleasentville. Sweet toned, perfectly orchestrated well-being. Of course the story is well known with some added unsuccessful adaptions and unremarkable songs. My compliments to Hanks trying to save the day, but this did not surpass a tv-movie level.
This obviously had quite a big budget, but there was something that just didn't compute. CGI, wich is killing cinema, is nowadays looking astonishing. For some strange reason the CGI characters looked like they were standing in front of a green key screen.
And this was directed by the man who did the amazing back to the future films? Wow! Disney certainly sucks the mojo out. Burton was one of my favourites until he fell under Disney's arms.
