The fact that Mickey Mousing is used during LeRoy’s adaptation of “Little Women” leaves me asking: Why? The novel became a monumental work of literature that still lives on today, but I feel like LeRoy takes away from that stature when he presents the film with music that follows the characters’ movements. I’ve been told this adaptation is not very good, and I have not seen enough of the film yet to make that distinction for myself. But we saw a little of the movie in class and observed Jo jumping over the fence twice with the music following her every move, random shots that last too long and also just regular shots in general that last too long. I guess in the end, even though I have not seen much of the film, I feel that LeRoy’s adaptation is not up to par with the novel.
