This had all the ingredients for a great family Christmas film.
Good cast, check Solid story, check Great set and costume design, check Excellent special effects, check Top songs, check
Then whoever did the sound/music mixing and editing went and threw a massive spanner in the works.
When it comes to a musical, one of the most important things to get perfect is the sound, but oh my days... the levels are all over the place and it really makes a negative impact.
It's especially noticeable during songs where there are lots of dancing and additional background noises.
One moment everything sounds great, then the music it too quiet, then the vocals are too loud and then suddenly everything muddies together.
It's a shame, as it's a massive flaw in an otherwise enjoyable film.
