People who’ve found Christ apparently won’t be able to hope to enjoy movies.

This is an absolutely terrible movie.

Regardless of what people may say is “mature” and “real” as far as themes go, this movie is laced with depressing and deceptive overtones. What is the main theme of this movie? Number One, promises mean nothing. Number two, you will lose what you hold dear. And three, life is hard, deal with it. To try to inspire people through a hopeless and desparate message like this is ridiculous.

O, and by the by, if an old man who has loved and cherished his wife for many years loses her, what do you exactly want him to move on to? What adventure can he take? I understand that the world would depict such a message, because without Christ, nobody has real hope. Without God, this life is all that you have. So sure, i praise this message for accurately depicting the sad and sorry state of mankind and it’s hopless outlook on life. I don’t expect any less from the world. But know that in reality, those who have Jesus Christ won’t have to let go of those they love, but will see them again.

There is a good ending in the book of all those who serve God. And that is truth.

3 moms took 10 kids ages 2 to 11 and not one kid was leaving the theater very thrilled. HO hum for older kids, too scary for little ones. Ellie is adorable as a kid…they should have kept her. Death??? Not expected and made 2 girls cry. The talking dogs were weird and scary. The crabby adventure guy was also scary. Three kids left the theater during the scene in the cave. It was a weird story…was someone on drugs when they wrote it? the 3D effect was minimal…nothing flying out at you or anything really fun. Very disappointed…wish we hadnt’ wasted so much money for a couple hours.

SquirrelSquirrel!Squirrel!Squirrel! I hate Squirrels!Squirrel!

then dont take little babies. it was an amazing movie. yeah it has a lot of non sugar coated messages but so what? we live in a world were kids are expecting kids, teenagers only find amusement in drugs, and the news are fluttered with unimportant matters.

With some trepidation, we took our 2 and a half year old, ready to leave if we needed to (this was his first ever movie). He was fine the whole time. The death thing flew right over his head, he just knew that the man had lost his wife and he was sad. And he loved the dog and the bird. We didn’t do 3D. I liked it a great deal, even if I cried, twice.

Brett, the Onion review of the movie said, “It took 65 years, but Disney finally topped the death-of-Bambi’s-mother scene” (paraphrase)! I thought that was funny.

I’d like to see this with my husband, but our 3 y/o has never been to a movie and scares easily (nearly crying during a video of “Finding Nemo”), so we decided not to waste the money. I’m sure his first movie will be along the lines of a Pooh movie or something. I recommend the website commonsensemedia.org, which gives detailed reviews on movies and media and exactly what kids can expect.

this truly is one of the best movies i have seen in a very long time. it speaks to the humanity in everyone and was beautifully done. sensitive and at the same time full of life and humor. a great story and film.

Um I seen it last night and well. It is not for small kids. I should not have to explain death on a family fun night out. It was Bland at best. The Dogs where funny but not for kids under 5. Very Disappointed.
