A [[{{Disneyfication}} very loose]] AnimatedAdaptation of RodgersAndHammerstein's musical released in 1999 by Creator/WarnerBros Family Entertainment and animated by Pentamedia Graphics and Rich Animation Studios, in association with none other than Creator/{{Rankin Bass|Productions}}. The looseness of the adaptation includes such additions as a magical illusion-creating gong, dragons, an EthnicScrappy, evil statues, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and a monkey]].

* WhatAnIdiot: Kralahome, who constantly contradicts his own plans to take the throne and ultimately outs himself in attempting to kill the king and his son.
** Arguably, the rest of the cast for not recognizing such an obvious villain or even his magical machinations.

The film was critically panned, with an average of 13% on RottenTomatoes, and a BoxOfficeBomb, only making $12 million out of its $25 million budget. As a result, the estates of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein have refused to allow any of their other musicals to be made into animated films. [[NiceJobBreakingitHero Forever]].

* SissyVillain: Despite his alleged menace, Kralahome does none of his own fighting through the film save for his attempt to shoot down the King's hot air balloon in the climax. Also, he had no exit strategy for taking over Siam when his treachery finally became clear to the heroes, and is easily cornered by his enemies before he's even able to attempt any sort of getaway.

* ConspicuousCGI: The dancing Buddha statues in "A Puzzlement", and all the ships.

* NonSingingVoice: Anna's voice actresses: Miranda Richardson does the talking, while Christiane Noll sings.
* OldShame: The estates of Rodgers and Hammerstein were greatly displeased with the liberties the film took with its original source material, thus banning the creation of anymore animated movies based off the duo's works.
** Some of the voice cast have also since expressed dissatisfaction with the film.

* AllAnimationIsDisney: Some people thought that about this film. Actually, it was animated by Rich Animation Studios and RankinBass[[note]]with Creator/HanhoHeungUp[[/note]], and released by Creator/WarnerBros Meanwhile, the same day this movie hit theaters, Disney released the TV-spinoff film ''WesternAnimation/DougsFirstMovie''.

* OralFixationFixation: Master Little has a weird obsession with his teeth, constantly brushing and flossing. (He's based on a jester of that name [Nai Lek] that Anna described in her book. A skilled juggler and pain-in-the-ass practical joker, he was ugly as sin, but his best feature was his prominent teeth.)

* AdaptationalVillainy: The Kralahome schemes to steal the King's throne.
