It's easy to see how this film reinvigorated the studio's animation department. The artwork is high quality, the songs are catchy and Pat Carroll is one of the epic Disney villains. I enjoyed this as a kid and adulthood brings a newfound appreciation of its technical virtues.
One thing that nine-year-old me did not have was an ear for vocals, and I am absolutely blown away by Jodi Benson. I'm no singer, but even I can appreciate her craft and her unbelievable control. Hearing "Part of Your World" was a revelation and enriched the whole movie for me. Is there a term for a nonsexual crush on a singing voice? 'Cause I've got that, man oh man.
