This movie was one for the heart. It's combination of themes and genres made it stand out amongst other movies for the Christmas season and possibly for the year. It did not stray from an intended direction: The focus was constant throughout and was without fail a heartwarming and inspirational tale. This was definitely a movie that should be viewed and shared by families. The effects were incredible! I viewed the film on IMAX 3D and was completely blown away by the experience. The sounds were vibrant and crisp. I felt like I was directly in the envrionment. The visuals were stunning and made me feel as if I could reach out and touch anything and everything that was on the screen.
