OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

Folks, I usually don't start a thread like this, but we saw TBC last night and barely were able to sit through it. 12 years in the making and nobody had the thought, hey, this is really pathetic?

The plot and the characters felt like one cliche after another....and the SCRIPT????????? Disney couldn't afford a decent screenwriter? This is one of the worst scripts I have ever heard in my entire life...boring, banal, and laughably bad. I love animation and am a huge fan of Disney...but we were appalled at how bad this was. After it was over I actually felt hostile and depressed that we had wasted 80 minutes watching it. Please, if you love it,I respect your opinion, so forgive me and try to refrain from calling me names...but if anyone out there agrees, feel free to chime in. Yikes.

Peace out.

The dialogue script isn't the greatest and the some of the voice-acting could use some more emotion; other than that, I think the movie's cool. :3

Disney films before "The Little Mermaid" never employed screenwriters or had scripts; the story originated on storyboards.

This was something I sat through because I loved the book and had been wanting to see the movie for decades. I did feel it was largely a waste of time.

Honestly, I really don't think that this movie was that bad.
But I must agree that it lacked something, so I can't say that it's one of my favorite Disney movies.
