Well I have to say, as a child I remember this story, and I was really looking forward to this movie...boy was I shocked. The visuals and characters were done very well, but the story and overall mood of the movie was so depressing I had a hard time enjoying the movie. My 10 year old seemed sort of uncomfortable but enjoyed the visuals, but in my opinion, this movie was horrible. Is it really necessary to make a movie like this so depressing and full of sadness??? This was supposed to be FUN! I will NOT be buying it when it comes out!
