Alien at the Movies

Disney recreates its animated classic fairy tale with live action and Disney magic. Who doesn't know this popular & adored cartoon film by Walt & company. It is faithful to the 1950 animated fantasy musical with only minor variations and extensions. The sets and costumes are beautiful. Cate Blanchett is terrific as the evil stepmother. It is a wonderful and charming family film, although Alien still favors the original animated Disney version.  Stay through the credits if you want to hear that catchy bippity-boppity-boo tune from the original. A delightful short film, Frozen Fever, precedes the main attraction & features Anna, Elsa, Olaf, and Kristoff in an icy fun birthday celebration.

Alien gives it 3 "have courage and be kind" stars out of 4.
