To be fair I grew up on this movie, so I'm biased. I love this movie so much. The beauty of the landscapes and set pieces is stunning. It's such a fun fairy tale with so much sweetness to it. The audio dubbing is a bit off because they had European actors that some got dubbed over with English speaking actors. It's especially noticeable with the King of the winterlands, but they edited around it well. It's definitely got a lot of fairy tale elements we are all familiar with, but also new fairy tale bits. Like a princess with some (not forced) self agency which is always refreshing in this genre. The special effects are a bit dated, and the animatronics of the polar bear aren't quite Jim Hensen quality but certainly passable. The score is some wonderful early 90s type composition typical of the era which I find nostalgic and fun.
