Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for adventure lovers and parents and kids watching together. One the grown-ups won't mind watching too. Sits nicely alongside The Sea Beast or Brave.
The mood: Feel-good.
The pace: Bright and bouncy, at 1 hr 20 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off: Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
Skip it if you want something with an edge.
