Never before have I seen a movie that tried so hard to alienate it's target audience. A children's / family film obsessed with death and the hurting of innocent creatures doesn't settle well with me, but still this movie has a strange draw when taken as an adult film that longs for the lost innocence of youth. This movie's beautiful, Academy Award winning cinematography and vivid Technicolor are worth the view alone and the fine performances of the entire cast lift the film far above the usual sentimental tearjerkers.
