Its reputation as one of Disney's biggest failures at the time is no secret. Admittedly, as a fan of the film I get why it wasn't a success; it probably didn’t have the best marketing, the reviews it received weren’t the strongest, and I think that, above all, the appeal simply wasn’t there. To most audiences this maybe lacked freshness and excitement. Ultimately, it went on to become a cult classic.
Anyway, ‘far as I'm concerned this is one of the best Disney films of the decade. No matter how many times I watch it, it never loses its charm and wonder. It’s a fun ride and a real visual delight (yes, the latter mostly has to do with Jennifer Connelly but the whole thing really does look gorgeous lol.) Pleasing film.
