The eight vignettes are visual magic compared to the Disney-lite narrative framing, so the whole thing eventually feels like it is dragging. This will work on dvd though, where fans of the original material can choose which scenes to watch at leisure.

The film is likely to attract new readers to the book - and remind longtime fans why they were attracted to the writings in the first place.
