English At times, I felt like this movie wasn't far from the fairy tale creations of Herschell Gordon Lewis, which I don't mean as an insult, but it just felt quite cheap in places. I wouldn't look for Seuss in this, although it's not entirely devoid of substance. The musical numbers are quite nice, but the overall set design is rather unremarkable. (20/08/2017)
