This was a wonderful version of a beloved story! A few scenes may be too startling for very young viewers (under 5ish), but my husband and I brought my 7 year old daughter and her friend and they loved it! The 3D experience really adds to the animation as well. Kudos to the filmmakers for not going over-the-top with some of the ghost sequences simply for shock value - they kept it exciting, touching and funny and still viewable for most audiences. The "performances" were stellar and the visuals are just amazing!
