I have to agree kelpfoot. I really thought Disney would finally win an Oscar again but it went to the 2006 version of Peter and the Wolf instead. A sad ending indeed.
They didn't do a very good job. The direness of her situation is overshadowed by the lushness of the animation, and the fantasy scenes should have been more exciting and more carefully handled considering that this is Disney. But I may not be the best judge of this since I'm not 8.
