This movie really grows on you. The first time I saw it I enjoyed it, but I wasn't overly rapt. However, I couldn't get the songs out of my head and decided to watch it again - BAM! I fell in love with it just like that. I ended up watching it four times in less than six days and I still can't get enough of the music. The acting and sets are pretty good too, once you get over the fact that colour means nothing to these people - people, costumes and sets alike are as vivid as a rainbow. Watch it - it's good, you just need to gain an appreciation for it (and, just as an asside, Paolo Montalban can sweep me off my feet any time he wants to. Casting him as the prince was an absolute coup!)
