It reminds me of the Animaniacs reboot. Technically well made, and all the ingredients are there, but the spark is not quite there.
Maybe that was true in the previous reboot as well, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen it.
Having read it again not too long ago, I was actually surprised by how much of it was not good.
The framework was interesting, but much of the actual writing wasn’t nearly as good as I had thought.
Maybe it’s because I had read it in a Dutch translation the first couple of times, and the translator had had improved the prose without intending to, or maybe it’s because it was many years ago.
Whatever the reason, I felt like it needed another pass of the editor.
The movie, on the other hand, still thrills me every time I see it.
