Don’t waste your time on this animated version — rent the classic version with Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr instead. Some of the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein songs remain, but second-rate animation and massive plot changes (mostly of the dumbing-down variety) remove most of the value.
It’s directed by Richard Rich, a veteran of Disney productions such as The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh,The Fox And The Hound and The Black Cauldron.
