Great acting submitted by Cami K on August 26, 2011, 9:51am The kids in this movie were much better at being nasty than the ones in the more recent version. I love the music. It is a good family film.

fantastic movie submitted by Jackie77 on August 9, 2015, 10:40pm Fantastic classic movie. All children should watch this as it has quite a few lessons all need to learn. Fabulous story from beginning to end. The newer version was awful.
