No sea dragon?? That is a shame. Thanks for your insightful observations and thoughts. If only my kids were a little older…guess they’ll have to wait a few years and watch it on DVD. Gives us more time to memorize the book.

Thanks for letting us share!

I never really chimed in with my thoughts on the movie. I wanted to see what the kids thought. But I have to say that I LOVED it. Absolutely loved it. It’s the best movie I’ve seen in a long long time… Years actually.

It was slow, thoughtful, filmed beautifully. Loved all the building and creating and crafting that the characters did. I love the creation of little fantasy worlds, and this movie delighted me on so many levels.

All our best!

Hey, hey! Some of my favorite bloggers here talking about a new movie. Fun stuff.

Gracie, so glad “I-Walked-Into-A-Tree–Ouch” wasn’t in the movie. For your sake.

Fun review as always from the Bookie Wookie crew!

I especially appreciate the content/scariness information.

I’ve wondered about this movie. It seems beautiful and poignant. Glad that the kids got it, too.
