"On the other hand it seems they have more outrageously acrobatic orphan choreography, which was one of the most annoying things about the 1982 version for me, and the dialogue snippets seem very unnatural."
Yes totally annoying and doubly awful because much of it is filmed from a low angle...so you have way too many crotch and underwear shots of little girls which always bothered me.
I agree when you are trying to tell a story on screen, choreography that is more natural in movement containing less "tricks" would work better in my mind too.
The trailer - ?? No strong opinions. Not overly impressed but has not killed my interest at this point.
