The digital 3D made the movie a little better, but the best part was that the story stayed true to the original book.
The animation was so good at times that the images looked real.
Young Children, under 6, may be a little frightened by some of the ghostly images and with the underlying story line there is a lot that will pass right over kids heads.
With no fluff or filler added to the movie it was nice to just enjoy the story. Highly recommended.
