 Critics are not too happy about Happily N'Ever After, yet another kids cartoon that pokes fun at fairy tales, or as Misha Davenport describes it in the Baltimore Sun, "a paint-by-numbers, retelling of the classic fairy tale of Cinderella repackaged for today's allegedly cynical audiences." Or as Christy Lemire of the Associated Press describes it, "yet another fractured fairy tale in which the characters subvert their own genre in self-conscious, smart-alecky fashion." Ty Burr of the Boston Globe does allow that it will "divert small children, but so will a brightly colored object if you twirl it." And Liam Lacey sums up in the Toronto Globe & Mail: "After the first hour or so of strained puns and wisecracks, you start feeling that the sooner the ending comes, the happier it will be." |
