Kids just wanna have fun

This is aimed at kids obviously and I have not read the books this is based on. But you get a pretty good idea, what it's about (the character and everything). It's a shame it wasn't successful, because it's lighthearted fun with a terrific cast. You can tell everyone was having a blast making this.

It's predictable and the characters are very easily to spot, but you don't always need complex stuff to be entertained. It's also enough to watch this with a kid (maybe not even a fan of the books) and having a blast with them. It's overall effort is more than decent and if you allow yourself to dive into this world (just don't look too long into her eyes), then you'll be entertained
