Accurate to the book, good for all ages, though some sensitive younger children may be frightened by the loud noises, scary characters and surprises in this film. Jim Carey does an amazing job as several characters (not as "hammy" as we usually see him).
Though the animation technique is similar to "The Polar Express" this is far superior - eyes of characters have more life, for example. 3-D is perfect for this film - very effective! A must-see this season!!!
