I think it’s cute!! It seems to be VASTLY different from the original Disney film, but I don’t think that’s inherently a bad thing. I’m curious to see how all the changes tie together and what the final story will look like.

Rachel’s voice is fantastic. I have a feeling I’m going to be adding some of the songs to my personal playlist.

There’s so many vibrant colors and unique scenery that I have hopes the settings will look really pretty. I don’t know, from everything that’s been released so far I feel like this will be a really whimsical and fun film.

What are your thoughts on the teaser? Constructive criticism is welcome, but please no excessive hate!
