I think it is a wonderful movie, unless you are a scrooge. It’s sweet, exciting, funny, and just a good clean story. As I was leaving the theater I actually considered spending another $11 to see it again tomorrow.
That’s a rarity for me.


WARNING: Those who become motion sick easily will have trouble watching it. There are at least 4 scenes that I know would make my Mom ill.

I've heard a few people mention the motion sickness in this movie and I have to agree. The scenes in the movie seemed almost 3-D dimensional, because you really felt like you were on that train. It is hard to believe how far computer animation has come. The faces looked so real in this film and the body movements are extremely life like. It was a great movie, the kids really enjoyed it, and they were thoroughly into the movies dramatic train trip, actually so was I. The movie’s main character looks exactly like my oldest son, with the only exception being the shape of the boy’s eyes.

Everytime the kids see a preview they will ask, can we go see that?

They showed the previews for the new Winnie the Pooh movie and I asked so, you want me to take you all to see that? I found out that none of us are Pooh fans.

Smart woman... send the DH with the kids separately... you will not only enjoy a 'bathroom break' free viewing... you won't have to share the bucket 'o popcorn either...

Took the grandchild to see it Friday. Both the wife and I thought it was okay but nothing great. The grandchild liked it for awhile then said it was taking too long.
I was more impressed with the advertisements at the begiinning and even that took to long. Popcorn was Okay

My friend and I took our kids to see it yesterday, it was GREAT!!!

I did have to look away at a couple of parts because it gave me vertigo and made me feel as though I was on a roller coaster, all the while, my chicklet is not quite yelling WHEEEEE!!!!! (she loves roller coasters ~ )

We really enjoyed it.
