Ratings and reviews

There are few original stories out there, but this is one of them. One bad way to describe it is a cross between Toy Story meets Lord of the Rings in a post-apocalyptic world, but with real heart, sadness, horror and humor. The cast gives you some idea of the quality of the script. It is useful to know that Tim Burton helped organize funding for the director, after seeing a short-film done for a university course, and encouraged the former student to expand it into a full-length movie - there is more than a touch of himself that Tim Burton would have realized, not in the visual style, but in the complexity of the emotions - the horror and heart of "The Corpse Bride" would be a good example of this. If your children can deal with "The Corpse Bride", and are rewarded by it, then they can deal with the scares in this film, and be rewarded by the warmth and humanity it offers - and indeed the sense of hope. That is not to say the horror is not there - there is real horror for adults, but it is the type of horror that an 8 year old will not notice, not until they are 18, or even older. My 8 year old loved "The Doll Movie", with dolls and monsters and adventure, and heroes and death and laughs and magic he did not understand. He may have understood some of the wisdom it offered. As an adult, you don't understand how the magic works either, but, that is part of what makes this movie magical.
