Parents say the film adaptation of the beloved book is engaging and provides an opportunity for children to explore themes of friendship, courage, and kindness, though it features several moments that can be quite scary for younger viewers. Many recommend watching it alongside the book to help children process the story better, as some found that the darker elements and deviations from the original narrative detracted from the experience for both children and adults.
