>>101834892I really like Magica's shadow form, powers, lines and actress and the actress's performance, but I just now realize my problem with this plot: Magica is just too mean to Lena.
I get that Magica should be funny and mean and she is a bad guy, but even this moment from the comics about her niece Minima de Spell, who Lena more or less is an adaptation of, shows Magica's care and concern for her family.
The problem here is that because there's no family bond like this shown, Lena has no real conflict between loyalty to blood family vs. loyalty to friends that are like family. All she wants is to be free of her aunt. The emotional tension would be stronger with a bond.
The original DT cartoon wasn't great at showing family either by the way, since Donald barely appeared and the nephews were kind of a bland unicharacter, but here a little bit of feeling would be better.
