Movie Review
We adored the movie! It was cute and it did an incredible job of sticking to the original movie’s plot line. The CGI was gorgeous and the actors and actresses outdid themselves. For all the live-action remakes, we think this is one of the best we’ve seen. There is a post-credit scene if you wish to stay. Of course, if you have younger ones, it may not be worth it to stay for the scene.
The movie even inspired me to start reading the books! Overall, we thought the movie is incredible and worth seeing in theaters.
