upon the first viewing and i find this tale to be at least less annoy than other cannon movie tale . after many more and i think it one of the best . some of the song be pretty bad and especially the love song and but two thing stand out that make the movie and even the singing and worthwhile . one be the art direction . like the other cannon movie tale and this be a beautifully decorate period piece while every piece of cloth and jewel ( both of which have major part in this movie plot ) look fresh and new and and contrast with the plain clothes of the peasant . even during the love song i find myself study the dress and hair of the princess and wonderfully do . the other thing be the comic timing . a lot of the movie be cheesy and but the emperor vanity ( and his make fun of himself in the end ) and the suspicious guard and the guard chase nicholas and and the stupid prince and be all quite funny and seem to be ridiculous quite on purpose . and the sequence during the song weave o make up for the song that weren not so good .
