The list of things gone wrong with this is best left to others, suffice to say it is a great old story ruined by modern sensibilities and fear of upsetting the precious and fragile weaklings we think our children are. The production company deserves a participation trophy at best. You know what I mean, an award for turning up. I seriously hope there was no public money spent on this mess. When this sort of thing happens I always hope that the people responsible get told in no uncertain terms that this is not what the consumers want. Better still send a message to every production company by not giving whoever made this any more work.
