My 7 year old said it's her favorite movie EVER. It was predictable but cute and heartwarming anyway. With the main characters' parents presumably dead, ant the 2 kids bouncing between foster homes, I was nervous that my daughter would ask questions about that, like if that would happen to her if we died, but she fortunately hasn't mentioned it. All she's asked about is can we get a dog now, please, please, please...
