Great movie for children over 5..... When I first saw this movie, I thought it was amazing. The acting was great, especially by Angelica Houston. I have heard that critics like it as well, and I can definitley see why. This movie was interesting, held your attention, and was very unique, definitley a first of it's kind. For those who say that the film was too scary or disturbing for children, I disagree, This film is just a fantasy, nothing more, and I would say that children over 5 would take the biggest intrest to it,and would understand that it was not real. If you have viewed the movie, you will see that some of it is so self explanitory that it is fake that almost all kids can see it, that is why it is called a fan-ta-sy. Children under 5 may get a little scared because they do not understand the movie, and only look at the images, which can be a little scary at times....if children of all ages love harry potter...then there is nothing different about this. This is definitley worth a look....and I reccomend it to all families, with children under 5 or even just to adults....believe me, you'll love this movie!
