It is not as breathtaking as Pixar's animation, but still liked the stories and thought it was done very well. A little on the short side, especially for $19.99, but that's ok.
Originally Posted By Megara I really liked Belles on Ice. I thought that was gorgeous using the Fantasia animals and it was really entertaining and fresh !

I was kinda waiting for Disney to utilise many of their other characters that are waiting in the wings like Chip n Dale. But alas it never happened. Overall, I really liked the new computer animation and thought the whole thing really shone and the backgrounds were very nice. In relation to the bonus features, I was looking forward to watching an explanation on how they made the new computer animation come to life. Instead I was subjected to those annoying producers stealing the show with boring stories about themselves. Finally, I am wondering why Minnie Mouse is dressed in purple nowadays? Like she is in House of Mouse. I think most would agree with me that Minnie should be in her original red (with polka dots occasionally). I really don’t like the modern “purple†version.
