I guess the reason I hate this film so much is that its target audience is kids and the message it seems to send to those kids is that "conventionally attractive people are good, conventionally unattractive people are incredibly evil." I know this is an old, old theme in fairy tales, but that doesn't make it any more problematic, and I've never seen a movie drive that theme home more consistently than this one!
It's a shame because the outdoor settings and indoor sets for this film are quite beautiful and memorable. But the content is awful.
