Best EVITA movie. Albeit a lot of made up scenarios to this series, but it showed how one person can affect many people and a country. The side stories show the mystic, the love, the adoration and the hate and fear of Eva Duarte de Peron. The first time I have seen her portrayed as a "person" not as a "mean tyrant" with no other qualities. In every story done of EVITA she is judged from the beginning. The cast was extremely talented, the direction is strategic and allows to go this journey.

They obviously thought they can be a Disney movie, they cannot. This is a true story, what is with the animal sidekicks and the Jafar type character and Iago type sidekick, these changes are unnecessary and unwarranted. I am not surprised that the estates of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II have declared that there are to be no more animated features based on their musicals. This movie is a missed opportunity, an opportunity that had a big ripple effect on the planned other animated features of their musicals. I enjoy when directors approach a story with a new way to tell it from a different angle but not at the expense of the story especially a true story. It does not make it modern it just weakens the story and the end result is a bad movie,

Great memories, it is just a fun movie just like the tv show ...... just fun. Casting is perfect, John Goodman was spot on, Rick Moranis a perfect Barney, Rosie O'Donnell (was my favorite) a lovable Betty and Elizabeth Perkins was Wilma from the second she appeared on the screen. Adding Elizabeth Taylor to the mix was genius, and Halle Berry amazing, from the second she appeared all you thought was she is a star. The attention to the detail was true to cartoon. I think it is the best live action cartoon series brought to the big screen. It is truly a family friendly film, great direction by Brian Levant.
