I first saw this movie when I was 6 and it scared me! I had nightmares for a long time. I recently saw it again and It isn't a must see for the family at all. The guardians of James are mean, the story line is uninteresting, there are creepy stuff in it, and it didn't teach me anything!
I love this movie. It is great for kids. A lot of frightening situations. One use of ass. The centipede is usually scene smoking an object that looks like a cigar.
My kids and I loved the book, but the movie is a disappointment. The filmed sequences are ok, but the animation is crude. But the worst part is that they changed the story so much and took all the fun out of it. We watched it once and I'll donate it to the library. My kids have no interest in ever seeing it again.
I love this movie. It has good messages. I like it. Its a fun movie. I would like common sense to change the messages face from sad to happy because it's positive messages, not negative messages. I don't like some people because they're so dopey and crazy about somethings. i recommeded it.
ok, seriously! not apropriate for 6 yr olds??? Seriously!!!! so there is some yelling! kids will see yelling. there is no violence, no swearing, no sex talk! it is a giant PEACH for lords sake'!
I watched this when i was about 7 years old and those aunts were really creepy for me! I watched it again and I really wanted to like it, but I just couldn't
This is good but the a word is used once. a few people and creatures smoke.so great movie.BUT the spider one scene smokes .so this good great but once you see it like 1000 times you get bored like first it was NO.1 THEN ANOTHER 1 beat it so i say this is good.so see it or rent it its like 79 mins longer than stuart little 2
I am not a big fan of Tim Burton and I was not sure on letting my boys watch this movie but when I saw it I loved it. It teaches children that just because something is different does not mean that it is ugly or wrong also it teaches kids to love I love the music & my kids adore the movie my 2year old sings along to the music.
Perfect for 8 and up, but not for sensitive 6 yos or younger.
Roald Dahl in his usual funny, extreme writing style comes out clearly in this movie, but what is fine left to the imagination of young children becomes more extreme, more scary, more disturbing when seen in this movie. There were details in the imagery that my 6 year old would never have imagined himself and feel does not need to see. He is sensitive so I skipped over the very beginning and then had to skip the whole part with the aunties because of how evil the skinny aunt was. Otherwise, fun and entertaining. My 8 yo loved it.
This movie is crazy. My mother bought it for my kids, and the oldest left the room and my youngest had nightmares that night. The violent tendencies of the two Aunts is disturbing. The animation was clearly last century. I don't recommend this movie to anyone.
