The Beginning Is Superb, But That's It
8 January 2007
The beginning of this film is quite different from any other animated film. I thought it was terrific, but then the film goes downhill after that, picks up for a brief period and peters out more. The dull parts tend to be the slow classical pieces. Overall, the movie is difficult to rate.

The first part, with symbols and other things popping up all over the screen as a symphony orchestra plays, is almost worth the price of the video. Kudos for whomever re-mastered the sound in here, as it is excellent stereo, amazing for a film over 65 years old.

Granted some of the stuff is very original and much of it is colorful, but two hours of animation is long time....too long.
