Title: Unfortunate portrayal of the book
Product review: Like other concerned parents, we own only a handful of videos for my daughter. I bought this one specifically because I think very highly of the book of the same name. I am a musician, and I was drawn to the use of a real (not synthesized) orchestra. The original classical music is wonderful! However, the animation and overall "look" of the video is quite disappointing. It bears no relation to the beautiful illustrations in the book (other than the colors!), and has a very "computerized" look to it. I find the face of the boy to be harsh and expressionless, and there is nothing about the animated characters that is warm or appealing. The art in the book is an integral part of its appeal, so it is unfortunate that the art in the video does not do it justice.
