I honestly wonder if the writers of this production have ever seen any of the animated Disney films that this movie referenced. The mistress of all evil tap dancing?!? And it just went downhill from there.
Howard Ashman is turning over in his grave after the hip hop version of Be Our Guest.
Most of the offspring of the classic characters were an insult to their parents. At least their parents were spared (for now) from being lobotomized.
Honestly, I think the Shrek films, which certainly take frequent aim at Disney animated films are far more respectful of the Disney classics than this officially sanctioned and promoted by Disney production.
In my opinion, if another studio such as Warner Bros. or Paramount released a project like this with the obvious references to the Disney films, fans and the company would be furious.
I get the premise, but I think the characterization of the parents was terrible. I thought making the villains campy comedy relief was bad enough, but then they made the parents into lame, stupid, and clueless people.
