I went to a very intense yet comedic at times melodrama today. Ten years in the making it was not at all anything I expected. The acting well rehearsed in the deepest chambers of small minds seemed to hit the floor wit a resounding thud heard up to 1000 miles away. There were scenes that surprised only because of the stale nature of the set and costumes.

We have the Artful Dodger who obviously was confused about his sexuality and Jiminy Cricket who is a devout homophobe and military reject. These ‘men’ who were more diametrically opposed than the wood-grain in a fine antique dining table, somehow got past their differences long enough to join their vast resources into what seemed to be an unstoppable  force to save the sparkle eyed princess from the dark forces of justice.

But alas the fact that no amount of belief can create a truth, their mission was destined to fail. The one redeeming element of this affront to true acting was the supporting cast. Which consisted of the brother, the mother, the aunt and the evil step father; they alone should be recognized for their passion and true love for the princess.

There are some rumors that there will be a sequel but the producers’ track record has shown they either are too selfish or more likely too broke to finance it.
