Disney reboot has fun playing on fairy tale stereotypes.

I'd only recommend it if you feel you'd like fluffy made-for-TV musicals.

...ultimately overlong and forgettable, despite the best efforts of an exceedingly game cast.

pretty harmless and almost wholly unmemorable, but considerably better than a lot of animated junk that's passed off as kiddie fare.

A good family musical for anyone from toddler to grandparent age. Goes great back-to-back with Rogers & Hammerstein's Cinderella. Despite the release date, this movie is actually several decades older than it claims to be. The age of the actresses makes that a dead giveaway.

I think it would've been better if Zooey Deschanel was the main character.
