My Take on the Blu-ray
As someone who always has liked the Sherlock Holmes stories, this was a fun story that does not always get the Disney acclaim that other Disney movies have in the past (but it should). The characters and plot are strong, and the music within it is memorable. The movie itself, while not like what you would see in movies such as Beauty and the Beast or the Little Mermaid, still has substance and depth, which in my perspective makes it an even stronger movie. If you have never seen this movie, you are missing out and I recommend that you go out right away to pick up a copy for your family. You will not be disappointed!
