I wonder if a good version can be made, and if so, would I like it. This rates 7.4 among ~109k users, and I all but ground my teeth while running this.
I remember liking the story as I a child, but I remember reading it, with the old (original?) illustrations. I'm sure I owned a copy of the book.
I don't know if it would help to have recently read the story and observed how they adapted it. I only vaguely remember the characters and "plot". To me, this film seems slow and boring, which the story should not. The songs especially decelerate things to a crawl/halt.

Try it again at your own peril. I'm warning you now to avoid this in future.
