7/10
Full of Character... Despite the Mistakes.

This film to me is one of my favourite childhood films, where I remember watching the film over and over, falling in love with it more. After revisiting it, I still found it particularly charming, due to the storyline and the characters. The storyline is just right for the younger audience... easy to understand. In my opinion, the musical aspect of the film isn't the best I've seen from a film, but I can still remember the lyrics and the tune to this day.

Reviews for the film have hounded it's continuous mistakes throughout the film, and changing of actors from the original. The organisation and planning of the film didn't help its potential, due to moving from one studio to another. Finances didn't help this film either from which is demonstrated from the overall quality of the animation. There are plenty of mistakes in this film, which has harmed its reputation. The actors chosen for each role, in my opinion, were sound choices despite some criticism choosing Charlie Sheen over Burt Reynolds.

I'm my opinion however the film should've been better planned, organised and received better funding from MGM, then the film would've got the reputation it deserved. I believe it is full of character, which is why I remember it so well. The songs are good, despite irregularities, mainly focusing on "I Will Always Be With You" which is a beautiful and brilliant duet, despite Charlie's singing voice being clearly different. 7/10 is what I will give for this film due to its brilliant character and potential, despite the poor organisational planning leading to the mistakes evident in the film.
