The movie is really a great one for kids ten and up, but under ten kids shouldnt watch it. It would be too scary for the younger kids. there is some cool stuff in it though, too. It is good for kids ten and up because It has a fairytale like feel to it. Like how Helena can look through windows and see her room in the real world. Its also good for the older ones because they will understand it better.They would understand the connection between the real world and the world she drew. It has a black magic that can turn people to stone that can crumble them, and that is why its scary for young kids. The only problem i have with role models is the fact that Valentine betrayed Helena when she thought he was her friend. Other than scariness and one bad role model, its a great movie for kids over ten. :)
