Why It Sucks

 * 1) It's not really a video game, just a compilation of mini-games and a movie.
 * 2) The mini-games themselves are boring.
 * 3) The game's movie is very short, lasting about eight minutes.
 * 4) Weird dialogue. For example, the narrator says that Prince Stephan "is like a small boy",and Lena sings a song that begins with "My little song/That will begin right now"
 * 5) The box art is downright terrifying. The box art is also which is a false advertisement for 3 reasons:  Lena's hair is shown as red. However, in the film, it is yellow. 2. None of the characters look like the Disney bootlegs in the film. 3. The animation and art style are lies as well. In the box art, the characters are in 3D, but in the game, they are animated in 2D.
 * 6) Lena's's singing voice sounds like she's bored out of her mind.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The narrator’s voice is decent and bareable.
 * 2) Some effort was put into the graphics though.
