I'd like to start of saying this movie isn't your average Disney movie. Sure it has some mushy unconditional love scenes, and the whole sense of family themed plot, but this is the first time I have ever seen an animated Disney movie with spaceships, aliens, laser blasters, and a little girl. Not only in the same film, but the same scene. A bit of an odd mixture, but Disney used their good ole' magic to make it all fit in. The whole musical focus on Elvis didn't settle with me. He's good and all, but I don't like him as one of my favorites, and a doubt little seven and eight year old would know who he is. Tia Carrere was great.. well her voice was, and it was a good choice by having Hawaiian actors do most of the voices for this film, given the fact it was based on a small Hawaiian island. This is this ultimate movie for 10 year old Disney lovers, so if you have a little brother, or sister this would be my recomended kiddie film.
