The Princess and the Pea

So I absolutely love animated movies. And if they're animated fantasy/musical movies, well, you've pretty much bagged my attention.
So how did I miss this gem?
I've been meaning to post about my viewing of "The Princess and the Pea" for quite some time now - after all, it's not every day that one discovers a "new" fairytale-based animated movie.
Maybe it's not the best movie ever, but it reminds me somewhat of Thumbelina or The Swan Princess - it's full of heart, and the fun characters (Rollo and Daria! - see above picture) win you over. This could easily have been a Don Bluth movie.
I really wish this would come out on DVD in the US, but would settle for a region-free DVD from somewhere if that never happens - as it seems, the only DVDs available on eBay are from Australia, which I don't think will play in my player. :(
But you can watch the whole thing on Youtube, which is what I'll have to settle for right now. Here's the first part if you want to watch it!
