Honestly, one of my favourite movies of all time. I remember watching this movie dozens of times when I was younger, and rewatching it recently has reminded me of just how amazing it is, and how it can honestly stand up and even be better than many animated films that we have today. I surprised myself with how many of the words to songs I still knew to after all these years. The music, combined with the amazing animation, create a movie that you are not likely to see again anytime soon. The way the animators chose to animate this movie make it feel like it was a live action movie that someone copied down on paper frame by frame, as there are many shots where the camera pans around, which you don't often see in animations. Rewatching this movie also made me go and rewatch War Horse, and I have no shame in saying that both movies made me cry at the end. I would truthfully recommend this movie to anyone, and I have never heard a complaint from anyone who has seen this movie.
