Hans Christian Andersen Animated Classics: The Ugly Duckling (2006)
The Ugly Duckling is the heart-warming, and sometimes heart-wrenching, story of a little "ugly" duckling. Ridiculed and laughed at, the Ugly Duckling leaves his home and journeys through the world, searching for a place to belong. But after a lonely and cold winter, the duckling is transformed and shows his true feathers as he discovers how being different can be beautiful.

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
