My wife and I took our 7 and 5 year old girls to see this film yesterday for our annual Christmas tradition. Jim Carry did a fantastic job and the quality of the animation was second to none. Our only complaint was that for an animated movie, which parents like us will want to take their children to, it was unnecessarily scary at times. We took our kids to see A Christmas Carol play last year, and were a bit concerned about it being too scary, and this film was dramatically more frightening. Our kids handled it ok, and there were no bad dreams last night, but if you have young ones who scare easily, I would hold off on taking them.
