The most photo realistic animation I've ever seen! But also the most soulless adaption of the masterpiece!

Not only a lovely ride down nostalgia lane, this film is also a technical marvel to behold. As far as remakes go, this is brilliant.

It's certainly a Disney classic in the vein of 'The Jungle Book', and even possibly exceeds that in terms of emotional power and grownup themes.
