Bad Movie
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 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.

Good Movie
It was an over-all good movie, and really good. If your child is easily scared, you should not watch this, due to some "scary" creatures.

A Peachy Cartoon For The Whole Family
A visually stunning but sometimes scary movie. Violence- Early in the movie an angry rhinoceros eats James parents (off screen) Aunt Spiker and Sponge threaten to abuse him for literally no just reason. Scary Images- Ghost pirates may startle children, but one looks like Jack Skellington from the Nightmare Before Christmas and the other looks like Donald Duck. (So if your kids are scared say "Look there's Jack and Donald") The climax with the rhino is scary. One scene involves a nightmare when James is being chased by his aunts who attempt to kill him with bug spray. Language- the A-word is briefly said. Smoking- Centipede smokes a cigar.

Clever and cute
Great for younger children but might lose interest of children over 10.
