Just got back from seeing the film.
Really enjoyed it and a beautiful film. Some of the artwork was absolutely stunning, the scene with the shadows and the restaurant dream scene stand out for me.
Can't understand the fuss that was made about the "ethnic" angle, didn't make any difference. Just a very good Disney film to be enjoyed by everyone. And great to see songs and some great set pieces that were visually stunning (the fireflies guiding them through the bayou for instance).
Will definitely get it when it comes out on DVD, well worth a second watch.
