My Take on the Movie
My family are HUGE Disney movie fans. Whether they are cartoons or regular movies we are there. I have been a bit skeptical on some of the sequels in the past as some were not to the same caliber of writing or animation it seemed to me. However in saying this I have to relate that this was not the cast with these films. My girls loved both of these films. One of the things that I appreciated was having two films in one. This means less space and easier transport-ability in the long run as well. The movies had some great new songs and I appreciated that they used similar actors so that the voices would remain in tact for the characters that you know and love. There are also some great messages that parents want to share with their children in these movies that range from messages of friendship and dedication, to those of self-exploration and trusting in others as well as many others. All-in-all, this was a great Blu-ray and one that I would highly recommend to others!
