A lovely, silly PG-rated film. I went with Bethany, and we laughed out loud. A lot. Then we stayed for the very last of the credits to see who did the music...and walked out singing a few of the songs by Alan Menkin (Little Mermaid, Beauty & the Beast, Aladdin) and Stephen Schwartz (Prince of Egypt, Pocahontas, Godspell, Wicked). A few days later I took my grandkids, and even the 5-year-olds were enthralled. So were Sarah and Bill. The adults especially got a kick out of the hidden Disney allusions throughout the movie...not to mention Wicked, Rent, and Hairspray, the stars of which were in the film. I'm actually surprised there wasn't a poster for Grey's Anatomy plastered on the side of a bus!
Now, I must say there was another rodent (a chipmonk this time) in another restaurant, so I did have a brief "Bleh" moment. Apparently the fine people at Disney approve of, perhaps even encourage, vermin in their kitchens, so I guess I'll just have to let it go.
But you won't see me in line for the Blue Bayou.

Patrick Dempsy doing the cowboy dance at the end was TOTALLY my favorite part. I will buy it, if not just for that tiny little part! It was great!
