• A lackluster adaptation that fails to enchant.

• The musical numbers are forgettable, and the plot predictable.

Google audience: Audience reviews highlight the film's bright colors and potential for younger viewers but criticize its uninspired story and forgettable songs, finding it a pale imitation of classic fantasy musicals.
