This is a very good movie. My husband and I took our 9 and 4 year old girls and we loved the characters, the music and the story.We were aware that voodoo would be in the movie because of the available information out there, but were not sure how it would be portrayed. The kids behind me (all around me!) did not freak out, but if you have a very sensitive little one be prepared to cover eyes or maybe wait for the DVD. For my 4 year old, the shadows were unexpected, but no more frightening than the witch in Snow White, the dragon in Sleeping Beauty, Jafar in Alladin, etc. Disney always has that super creepy bad character. Overall, EXCELLENT!!
