The movie wasn't the greatest, but I totally enjoyed watching. As for children watching.....I think it would depend on how mature. It's not as scary as Jurassic Park. But I don't recall any scary parts and I'm a chicken when it comes to scary movies. Even Bethany says it wasn't scary.
Lots of fun! Great animation (actually the best I've seen in ages). Very seemless graphics.
