I went to see this with my 20 yr-old daughter and her boyfriend, my 11 yr-old daughter and my 9 yr-old son. Everyone really enjoyed the show! It was good, clean family entertainment. There was almost non-stop activity and you could tell they had to work hard to condense a big story into 2.5 hours. I had read the book and was a little confused at first since the movie doesn't follow the storyline exactly. Still, the story was easy to follow, the characters were very enjoyable -- especially the mouse! A hit for the whole family.
