I am a 67 year old guy and I love quality animated movies. This was probably the best I have ever seen. In IMax it is 90 minutes of wonder. The graphics are dramatic. A must see for all ages.
Charles Dickens himself would have loved this movie. But I concur that it will scare kids...the death references are very scary...falling into a deep hole, etc. But the makers used every opportunity to make the story come to life. I highly recommend it. I saw the IMAX version but I'm sure regular 3D would be great too. I think 3D will be the salvation of the movie industry.
