Recognisable voices like Idris Elba & JK Simmons sound like they're having the best time, touches relating to particular species are simple but brilliant and the relationship between Ginnifer Goodwin's Judy and Nick — a wry &
twinkly voiced Jason Bateman — is lovely as it meanders the path of a suspicious judgement that turns into a true friendship.
Helena Bonham Carter has just one extended sequence as a dizzy
twinkly Fairy Godmother, but also narrates the story in a pleasant, musical
voice.
