The damn background music
really was too loud. And was overused.
Much of the story is in soft voices which are difficult enough too understand, there there is this tra lala ooee ooo playing several decibels louder than the voices. There's a reason it's called background music, it's unobtrusive.
I'm not talking about the singing which was part of the story.
Maybe it was my copy of DVD, or when it was restored for DVD someone thought it should be a musical.
