This story is the musical. It has few spoken words and goes by songs and singing voices. Strength of the music expresses the characters' feeling and touches the viewers' heart effectively. Happy songs such as love between Marius and Cosette are nice, but sad songs are more impressive. "On My Own" by Eponine and "I Dreamed a dream" by Fantine are heart-breaking grief. Both of them pierce my heart. Above all, the main character, Jean Valjean's singing voice is especially good. He is in prison for a long time by a little mistake. Then, he decides to live right and changes. Because of the background, asking himself and showing his will are expressed strongly by his songs. His great voice inspires the viewers' heart.

Disney Animation perfectly protects children's dream. For example, Disney Animation prohibits voice actors and actresses to speak as the character with showing their face. Disney completely keeps such a secret. However, in this film, the forbidden rule is broken. Characters going back and forth between a live action and an animation. It is surprising, interesting and a great idea. Actors and actresses of a live action and characters of an animation are very similar and nothing strange. Both of them are all attractive and nice. Disney Animation succeeds in to full the real world with the dream and also shows that there is the dream even in the reality.

Teenagers have many worries about study, dream, friendship and love. These are expressed well in this film and it is the bittersweet but heart-warming story. Whoever experienced teenagers will have sympathy for the characters. When I was a child, this film was not interesting because I couldn't understand it. However, as I become closer to the characters in age, I understand their feeling more. Films of Studio Giburi have things I don't know now, but when I watch it again, I will understand it. Every time I watch it, I get a new discovery. I think it is a great appeal for Studio Giburi. Studio Giburi made, makes and will make me grow mentally.
