    Hopefully it would be at least as good as Peter Griffin's version!

    This movie is really good. I think it's just as good as the original AND "Anna and the King."

    I was very disappointed in this animated version of The King and I. If you've seen either movie version or stage version you will be disappointed in this one. The songs are there and are done fairly well but the story is completely rewritten and disjointed including riduculous ...( read more)additional characters. I understand for a children's version wanting to bring in some wimsy but this would have been fair even for the televsion screen - and this was meant for the big screen. Fair animation, weak story. The only thing that was good and will always be good is the beautiful Roger and Hammerstein songs.
