I think he found it a bit stereotypical (and I'm guessing if you don't know and love the background the fact that it's so old probably means it seems stereotypical now, where once it was groundbreaking), and maybe a bit slow/tame. He thought it would be okay for kids (and being a Disney movie suspected it may have been made with a slightly younger audience in mind).

Also he did not like the lead actor much.
