I never enjoyed this movie as much as I did when watching it alongside my 4-yr old twins. I was iffy on what they'd think about it. I knew there was some questionable subject matter within, the kids were pretty mean, Jack had a few situations where he got pretty nasty towards others and the obvious of Jack getting shot out of the sky and Oogie Boogie shooting at Jack with his contraptions. However, I was willing to risk it, sit with my girls and explain the situation. In the end, it was worth it. I think they appreciated that the kids there were being nasty. That Oogie Boogie was bad, and that Jack was just confused about what he really wanted. I know there are some things they don't FULLY get, but as long as you're willing to sit, explain and stress that there are things inappropriate about the BAD things, there are SO many good things about the movie. The music, the end morals of wanting to be different, better and of course, the love story. Give it a try by yourself. You know your kids the best, and will know if this is right for them. But heck, if you haven't seen it... DO. It's great for adults, too!

Our family loves this movie. Not for all families in its quirky darkness. Fits our family's taste to a tee.

I think this is the best Tim Burton movie good for all but sense there are "Monsters" probably 6+ is the best.

This is a great film! A lot of scenes take place in a Halloween world, so there our plenty of creepy, but creative characters running around. Some of the visuals can be rather frightening, such as the murderous yet slightly comically Oggie Boogie. This movie has fun songs, amazing animation and a captivating storyline that makes it a Christmas (or Halloween) classic!

"I thought this movie was good because it had lots of mystery. It was also funny and fun to watch", says 8 year old boy.

I love this move and it's a favorite around our house! It shows the importance of being happy with the talents you were born with. Although a little scary, nothing frightening that your kids won't find cool or cute. This move has been a favorite of mine and will be a favorite in our house for generations to come.

This is a fave in my house. my youngest son who is 3 almost 4 loves this movie. Its dark but if you let your kids watch it, it actually helps them see that scary cartoons are just that cartoons.. Its not cartoons we should worry about making them scared of its the REAL monsters in the world. I am talking about sick people.. Sometimes we focus on the wrong things. Anyways we love it!!! I love all Tim Burton films.

Love this film. It's a bit on the scary side for very small kids, so I'd say it's for elementary age and up.

This is one of the best movies of its kind in a long time. The songs,the characters,and the overall movie itself is incredibly fun.
