This is the first Disney movie I've seen in 10 years that is evenly balanced between cute and suspenseful. Hats off to the newest Disney villain. My little girl is 4 years old and she loved it. I know this movie will be criticized for its scary and sad scenes, but that's what makes the good characters good. Without that you would be left with meaningless fluff... .... and I'm not just saying this because we live in New Orleans.
