Perfect for kids, cute for adults

I loved this when I was a kid, and it's just as good now that I'm a mom of four. There has been dead silence in the house this last hour that the movie has been on--- they're too engrossed to make a peep. They've even forgotten they were hungry. The grandparents wandered in to say "hi" and ended up staying to watch.

Be forewarned- if you're a parent that wants their kid watching too-adult-for-them trash--- you're not going to like this, and neither will they. But if you're a parent with some concern about your child's viewing habits... you'll like this. And so will they. It's worth the $10 purchase for it and it's companion movie, now out on DVD.
