“It is largely due to the efforts of an appealing cast and Lee's unqualified affection for their characters that 'The Wedding Banquet' works as well as it does.” –

Hercules (1997)

“While much of the animation is curiously sombre, even bland, everything else about the film comes with considerable flourish. The dialogue crackles, the voices are just right and a couple of those delightfully eccentric little creatures... sparkle. ” –

Apollo 13 (1995)

3/4
“Apollo 13, an unequivocal celebration of its heroes' struggles against their own frailty and against conspiracies of the universe, belongs to a characteristically American strand of story-telling. It even manages to turn defeat into victory.” –

2/4
“Aside from an occasional flourish of wit in the writing, there's not much to enthuse about here, and any sense that something substantial is at stake in the inter-racial relationship at the heart of the tale has been Disneyfied out of existence.” –

“The film-makers have adopted a snappy visual style in the M온라인카지노추천 mode and the animation skills are undeniable. But the result is off-putting, an ancient fable frenetically modernised. ” –

Beauty and the Beast (1991)

4/4
“If there is such a thing as "Disney genius," it surely resides in the way the animators are able to create a truly enchanted world. And in Beauty and the Beast, they are helped immeasurably by a collection of variously witty, exuberant and melodic songs.” –

“That the film is able to link family renewal and the product it is so capably marketing should only serve to remind us of what a valuable selling-point the family can be. ” –
