The movie starts slowly, and is not really done as well as it could have bbeen, but if you can be a bit forgiving, by the end it is worth it. I hope #2 gets made and a much better job is done, but the actors are fine. Just needs more budget and better directing/editing.
We have kids ages 10, 13, and 17. We all loved it! Our oldest was 3 when we saw the first one and still remembers the experience. He sat through this movie and said it was like being a little kid again. He couldn't believe what a good job was done with the story line.
