Madeline: My Fair Madeline (2002 TV Movie)
7/10
Charming
12 April 2011
I quite like Madeline, the books, the TV series, the live action movie, Lost in Paris and this, My Fair Madeline. When it comes to this movie, I prefer it over Lost in Paris, which was still quite good, but I prefer the series and live action movie. It isn't flawless, the film is too short, too rushed and the story is very predictable sometimes. But what redeemed it were some lovely animation that was smooth and colourful with convincing Parisian backgrounds and stayed loyal to the style as seen in Lost in Paris, the series and the illustrations of the books, likable characters, amusing dialogue and sweet background scoring. The songs are not amazing, but they are sweet and have some surprisingly droll lyrics. While I do prefer My Fair Madeline over Lost in Paris overall, there is one asset I slightly prefer in the latter. That's the voice casting, don't get me wrong it is very good here with Whoopi Goldberg especially fine the voice cast don't quite match the awesomeness that was Lauren Bacall. All in all, a charming film. 7/10 Bethany Cox
