“When I was a little girl (and my dad owned a video store), this was among my favorite movies. I hadnu0026#39;t heard much about it since then, nor did I really remember anything about it, it having been forgotten in the wake of Don Bluthu0026#39;s other, probably better films. I managed to track it down a few weeks ago, however, and was pleasantly surprised again. Set in New Orleans in the 1930s, the animation is delightful and the songs are memorable. There are a few goofs in continuity if you look hard enough, but they generally donu0026#39;t detract from the storyline, which leaves you smiling (and maybe even a little misty-eyed, if you are a lover of animals). The characters are believable (maybe even a little too grown-up for younger watchers), as well. Two paws up, and for those of you who havenu0026#39;t seen it in a while, definitely worth a re-watch.”
