Took my 7 1/2 year old granddaughter to this movie and she said there were some scary parts, but she watched the entire movie. This was my first experience with 3D and I was amazed with the technology! There were so many times I felt like I could reach out and actually touch things. Over all the movie was another great act for Jim Carrey. I think maybe it would be too scary for a lot of young kids, so you would have to use your best judgment when taking children.
