This movie did not dissapoint! I was initially concerned about bringing an 8 year old child to the movie, but aside from a few random swear words, this was a wonderful family movie. It met my son's (11) need for action/adventure, my daughter's love of pretty animals and fantasy and my love of delving into the human conflict. The movie industry is currently banging out apocolyptic/end of world movies feeding into the 1212 hysteria. Those movies have no point, other than increasing an already anxious global conscienceness. Even after 2 hours and 40 minutes I wanted more. Finally a movie with a message that I can use with myself and my familiy towards bettering ourselves and our environment.
