Critics Consensus

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

Common Sense Media

OK for kids, but classic movie version is a better bet.

It is good to hear the songs, including "Whistle a Happy Tune,'' "Hello, Young Lovers,'' "Getting to Know You'' and "Shall We Dance.'' But the movie seemed kind of stuffy.

Rated: 2/4

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"...
