This was one of the few Disney flix I had yet to see. I read all 5 Lloyd Alexander stories about Taryn, and I was a bit let-down by the movie version. The plot was altered a lot, and some of the key elements that had me riveted to the book were gone. The movie was a little intense for younger viewers I felt, but the plot butchery aside, the movie can stand on its own, albeit wobbly. I'd love to see more of the intense imagery shown here (Hunchback of Notre Dame is my favorite Disney). Rent it? Yes Buy it? Ehh...rent it first.
