Reply #54: I'm still impressed by the production quality of it [View All]

The subdued colors, the way the songs are woven into the narrative, the complete lack of garish show-stopping numbers, the authentic period costumes, and the spectacular scenery is given its due while never overshadowing the story. Sure it's corny and a "kids' film" now, but I still think it's an example of how to make a musical film the right way and not just a series of overblown production numbers as with "Chicago."
