I took my 2.5 year old daughter with me and we both fully enjoyed this movie. She doesn't have a very long attention span and she was the one who asked to see this movie. It was her very first movie and she sat still for MOST of it. There are some dark scenes, like when the evil "mother" is with the two bad guys, but that doesn't last very long...older kids might become frightened however. Overall, we both had a great time, and I espeically loved the music and characters.
