Every once in a while a movie pops up and needs to be added to the traditional favorites worthy enough to cuddle young children into grandparents arms, capture the interest of every generation, and turned up high for singing along while busy working on other traditions in the kitchen.
The music is a great balance, hitting on everything between familiar older styles and jazz and current influences. The sets are fantastic, often has the feel of peeking through a favorite snow globe. The costumes are amazing, the care of texture, color, movement often changes these into their own characters as the lights move.
And the talent! Under a remarkable director....so good!
