I LOVED this movie. There was so much emotion in a cartoon - amazing! The themes and messages were wonderful! However, my 3 1/2 year old said it was scary! The dogs frightened her quite a bit, but she loved the rest of it. When we went to the store afterward, she asked for a blue balloon because of the movie! Very well written!!! Just as the other reviews - remember that it is PG, not G and for good reason! I think minimum age should be 5.
