    From the snappy opening sequence to the finish, "Bartok the Magnificent" is pure magic! It's a lot of fun. Bartok is a cute little creature. Quite original too! I liked it.

    It isn't anywhere near as good as 'Anastasia', but I think that is more to do with it being a bit more childish than anything esle, it still boasted some excellent voice talent, even some from the original film. And although the animation was no where near as spectacular as it wa...( read more)s in 'Anastasia', it was still quite impressive. There also some catchy songs and the usual moral message that childrens films try to put across - overall not the best thing I've ever watched but I can see why children would love it.

    this movie was cute but sadly it was to childish for my tastes. sure it's good for younger audience but what is up with all of the lightness while in Anastasia it was more neutral.
