I loved this movie and I am one of the biggest Disney fans. Forget the awesome original movie even if you have seen it innumerable times, as I have, and enjoyed it every time. It is a classic. Get over it! This version is not it. It is a '''new but old' story loosely based on this classic and it works. The time frame and the theme may be the same but that is about it. The songs, both old and new, were pleasantly surprising as well was the entertaining choreography. Idina Menzel singing "Material Girl" and the Prince singing "Somebody to Love" as well as the other "old' and new songs were not expected, but were entertaining and appropriate. The whole cast did them justice. I also was surprised (for some of the film) for the new 'happy ending'. How appropriate for these days and this generation. I laughed and I cried. I was totally entertained. Kudos to all involved. Good for almost all ages .PG is the perfect rating. I am in my seventies...
