This could not be much more different from the 1977 animated Disney movie. It’s my favorite Disney film, so I know I am biased. I didn’t enjoy the writing style, but there isn’t anything wrong with it. What irritates me is the misogyny.  It’s so egregious   Sure, it fits with the time when the book was written, but the characterization of Miss Bianca is not something I’d want to children to internalize.
