The Meryl Streep bit was awful IMO. I get they were trying to re-create the "I Love to Laugh" scene from the original but neither the song nor the scene was good.
I loved the movie, however the two biggest disappointments to me were the forgettable-ness of the songs (about the only one I thought was catchy was A Book is not the Cover", and the fact that it was almost a scene-for-scene recreation of the first.
The Royal Dalton part was fun, and the return of the penguins cracked me up.
Couldn't be happier they did actual animation with live-action. From what I've read Disney wanted CGI as per their MO and I think that would have ruined it. Glad Rob Marshall fought for that.
