Agreed, agreed, agreed. That's more or less my overall issue with it. It's nothing really impressive because I've seen this story before and it's not just because the underlying themes are from fairytales and "duh, that's the point". I knooooow they're capable of making movies like this and I know they're capable of reinventing past stories; this is why I love them. They do it damn near every time they make a film, sucessful or not. It's just...is this all they have? They can't expand their base anymore to have more to celebrate? It's like they stopped after Tarzan (because they love to forget The Emporer's New Groove and up for some reason XD), and now they just work off that.
It's funny because I'll see all these reviews going "MAN, DISNEY DID IT AGAIN!!"...exactly. They did it again because they've done it before. But at this point in Disney's career, that seems to be all they can do now--recycle what they've done and remarket it. Sequels to their already existing films, princess shorts and princesses in general (which don't even get me started on the marketing of them XD), re-releasing everything...bah. I keep feeling like this is suppose to hold me over until they start doing something new again because right now I'm stuck.

It's just..a really standard film to me that's just nice for the Disney reference geekery. It's nothing over the top or even below the line. It's just right there...which anyone can do. I want to see them do something ELSE.
