I guess it might not be for some people. It's a bit slower moving story than most kid movies, but it is absolutely wonderful. One of my favourite children's movies in a long time. It's how I wish more movies were made, but maybe I'm in the minority. I love fast-paced non-stop action as much as the next person, but I'm so thrilled when a movie comes along that doesn't feel the need to rely on that, and just lets wonderful storytelling be the movie. I love this sort of story though, and so do my nieces and nephews, so it wasn't a hard sell with us.
