This is truly the most quotable, most underrated Disney animated film of the last WRONG LEVERRRRR!!!!!!!!
This...kind of defined my childhood. ❤
On the one hand, it's a desperately low-budget TV movie with what looks like bootleg Muppets filmed entirely on green screen.
On the other hand, if it had a multi-million dollar budget, it would have been a theatrical film-turned-Broadway-musical with a Tony Award-winning score. It's just so damn wholesome!
It could have been better considering the potential of the source material, but it's still pretty great. Nobody can deny how perfectly cast Danny Kaye is as Walter Mitty. It's a sort of heartbreaking performance disguised with slapstick.
It looks great, it sounds great, but it's almost a complete failure. The songs function so badly and inconsistently throughout that none of them feel necessary.* They only distract from the characters and plot, making the movie feel like a horror adaption of the 2004 comedy. Reneé Rapp is Oscar-worthy as Regina, but even she couldn't save the movie.
*My rule of thumb: if you get annoyed every time a character starts singing, then it shouldn't be a musical.
