This mostly forgotten Disney classic is a sort of transition film as directors Ted Berman and Richard Rich try to find a way to blend the old school style of animation the studio built its reputation on and the new computer generated graphics that were replacing hand-drawn animation back in the 80s. It’s an uneasy fit at best. The scenes of the skull-headed bad guy raising an army of zombies are almost too intense for children. The studios insistence on adding cute/annoying talking animals to the mix is too much for adults.
