Fans of the original book by Cornelia Funke about a group of kids traversing into a magical world in the streets of Venice won't be disappointed. I found in some ways the film was better than the book. The casting was superb. I have to admit I had my reservations when I first saw the trailer with the characters of Prosper and Bo, but here again, the movie serves to succeed. The most touching aspect is the sincere and true relationships that the friends develop. More so, with Prosper and Bo, whose loyalty to one another is endearing. Only wish it had been marketed better and come to theaters in Canada and the United States rather than go straight to the dusty rental shelves.
It's worth the dollars.
