    Good moment shared with my daughter
    I spent a nice moment with my daughter (5). He also enjoyed the movie. There was no moment when I thought it could be too tense for her. The story isn't very original but nonetheless a few themes are reviewed which children may reflect on.

    All in all no masterpiece, but this is something you can go watch with your kids (4 to 6-7ish) without a problem.
