My grandaughter is 3 and it is her favorite movies. I always watch it with her and still love it. Great for the whole family.

We watched this in my class and it is not good. It's boring for adults and kids. Skip it.

I watched this with my 7 year old grandson. He had some questions about why the young child protagonist became ill (from Scarlet Fever, which was BTW, convincingly portrayed). I could tell he was anxious as to whether he could be taken ill with a potentially deadly illness and we stopped the movie and talked to him about it. Other than that, the very simple animation was serviceable but far from Pixar standards. The story is not realistic as people (both the grandmother and the father) completely change their attitudes within the space of days/hours. While teaching a lesson that "loving is what makes us real" it actually has more complex metaphysical issues that it touches on but barely explores. (Do our dreams & fantasies affect our real life?) There is no spiritual/religious component to the movie although parents could makes analogies to spiritual themes. Our 7 year old enjoyed it as he would a fairy tale other than for some trepidation about a boy (his age) nearly dying... both in the real world and his fantasy world. Consider this issue for younger children.
