Loved it, highly recommend! Stunning visuals, great music (already going to youtube so i can listen to my fav on repeat) and good message. As for specific details -

Mirabelle is interesting because she has all the details of a disney princess - swirly dress motions, beautiful singing voice, loving but can-do attitude - without being one. She doesn't meet typical beauty standards, she's a genki girl, so I just think it's a great blend of both worlds.

I really liked that they made the house a character without really giving it a voice. It's not just helpful, it's cheerful, it clearly loves the family, and I think it'd be a great attraction to have at a disney park, tbh.

I'll admit the plot was definitely oof for me, because I do feel like I'm the "not gifted" in a family of gifted - my three sisters are a lawyer, social media consultant, and sports photographer, dad's a teacher - hell, just tonight mom got accepted to a new job that's paying her 120% more than her old one. And I work retail. So. Oof.

If I was forced to nitpick at gunpoint, I will say I didn't like the ending. Without spoiling things, I feel like it would have sent a stronger message if they ended it sooner. But again, that's really just one complaint in a movie I still really liked.

So, to end things, it feels like a much better Frozen (spoken as someone who didn't like Frozen, so take that as you will =P )
