Comments:

I am always surprised at the fact that you never hear anything about this movie. It is such a good movie, very funny with a good, compelling storyline. I would highly recommend this movie, however, it can be very scary for younger kids. There are a few scenes in which several of the characters fake dying , complete with berry juice "blood" (though it is obviously fake). My 5 yr. old sister cried several times during the movie because of violence or sad parts in the story. However, it is still an excellent choice for the moderately brave child. It is also a funny movie for adults and teens, as the diologue has humor that only older people would get, as many Disney movies do. Once again, I would highly recommend this movie.
