I read the book with my daughter a few years back and was hesitant to see the movie. The books illustrations were so superb I was sure the movie would be a disappointment. Well, I was wrong. The movie was beautifully crafted and one we are sure to own.

A charming tale of a young boy attempting to find the meaning behind his father's death and the purpose in his own life. Imaginative. Cinematography is beautiful.
this movie was amazing, just like the book. for those of you who haven't read the book, don't be discouraged by the size. it's mostly pictures. the movie was amazing, a must see.

This one is destined to become a family classic. I watched it with a group of folks aged 10-80, and all of us enjoyed it. The cinamatography is breathtaking and the characters steal your heart. I wasn't sure if this would keep the 10 year olds attention (being of the "historical fiction" genre), but I shouldn't have worried about it...she was enthralled by the story.
