I like how animation can be charming and also powerful, without being heavy handed. (Like when Simba's father dies in The Lion King). I agree that bio-pics have their faults, but it's so rare to see one about a woman who doesn't commit suicide or kill men or become a prostitute, or get beaten by her husband, that I found it engaging.
