content: I remember loving this movie as a kid when it first came out. Rewatching it more recently, sure I cringed at some of the acting, and the plot's self-contained events (problem A arises, solve A, problem B arises, solve B, etc), but the scope of fairy-tale references can be quite staggering.It's worth watching through at least once. It gets better as it goes, so don't give up early.
