I really thought I wasn't gonna like it. But to my surprise, I love it! First off, I am not aware that this is a musical movie, I just let my husband pick a movie since he knows what I want. The music is beautiful, delightful and lively. I feel happy watching "spirited" and hearing their music, is really a music to your ears. Plus actors here are great actors as well, and the supporting actors and everyone in the movie seems all came from the theater. Very good! There is also a moral lesson in the story, which is good. Great movie! I just love it. Can feel the spirit of Christmas:)
