What Parents Need to Know
About The King and I (1999 animated version)
Parents need to know that this version can't hold a candle to the original 1956 movie or the Rogers and Hammerstein play. It's perfectly age-appropriate for kids, but the animation isn't great, and it strays from the original storyline.
