It blows me away how fantastic the trailers look. If you go on Apple there is a fool length trailer which perfect, I think the song in the background is brilliant. This will be welcomed change from all the cartoonish kid flicks, looking forward to seeing it...NOT on opening weekend though! OK, this was my favorite book as kid.

I'm relieved. As so many of the recent movies from children's books have shown us, there's beauty in a short, simple story that can only be destroyed when rewritten to make a long movie. The only kid's movies I can count on being worth watching are from Pixar, since the stories are as good as the animation (and none of those hideous pop-culture referencing jokes for grown-ups, wink wink - gag!).
