Very original - unlike other movies

from St Louis
We enjoyed this movie, having read the book to our children. It's important to set your expectations before seeing it - it's not a whimsical animated retell of the book. It's a fascinating journey of a boy to a place where he confronts some of his confusion as he comes of age. It is unsettling - and as I saw that Tom Hanks was a producer, it reminded me of the feelings I had after watching "Forrest Gump" or "Castaway" - some loose ends that aren't tied up neatly. I wouldn't recommend children under 10, it really isn't appropriate ~ but for older children, it allows for some good dialogue after the movie...something that doesn't take place often enough.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
