I must say I am a sucker for a good Disney film, especially the musical ones. and yes sometimes it makes me cry watching this film (well OK every time), there are good and bad Disney films just like any other company or genre, this one is a classic.
Ashman and Menken do a truly fantastic job in keeping the story moving, unlike films such as Mulan, which I can't even remember one song from. In this film the Voice Acting and the Animation are flawlessly in sync, for its time the use of computer animation in the sequence which takes place in the ballroom I believe was ground breaking for its time.
Looking at the DVD release some of the bonus features which included the song Human Again is wonderful and whilst I understand Disney's reasons for not including it in the final cut, I don't think it would have affected the final story too much if they had included it either. The song was another big production song that was performed by all the cast and would have helped us better get to know them.
