This has to be one of the best Disney animations I have seen in a long, long time! It was a great twist to a classic tale. Every single character truly made this a magical story - from the strong, independent, grounded heroine to the jazz playing alligator to our sparkling Raymond. Even our villian, Shadow Man and his opposite Mama Odie. The music was toe tapping - wonderful jazz and blues, reminiscent of true New Orleans. Really, there was so much to like and laugh about, I will without a doubt, be buying this on DVD to watch over and over. Well done, Disney!
