horrorfanatic Gets All The Credit Because It's The First Coulour Film

This film when you think about it isn't very good (sorry Shona) the plot is daft (not as daft as Austin Powers) and the acting is very poor and over acted like Bette Davis so it seems like a panto on the TV. The songs however are very good they're catchy and memorable and brighten the film up even more. A good kiddies film because it's bright and loveable.
Wow! Amazing
