Critics Consensus

Charmless and shoddily animated, The King and I pales in comparison to its classic namesake in every way.

Bonitinho, trejeitos exagerados e musicais como toda animação carece de ser, a história em si me agrada mais que a obra, tanto que os exageros me faz torcer o nariz, entretanto por ser uma animação infantil, perdoável, as piadinhas funcionam, os personagens cativantes, o Rei embora grosseiro e machista, se redime e rende um bom final "felizes para sempre"...

Does everything have to be a song? I get it's a musical, but it seems like they through in a song even when it WASN'T necessary! Anyway, despite what these butt hurt people say, it's still a decent film! Too much singing involved; otherwise enjoyable.
