Premise
Two adolescent outcasts deal with their problems in their own world.
Who should watch
Everyone but little kids.
Thoughts
Shame on Disney for misleading us with their marketing this film as a fantasy movie. This is a great film, but it is not a kiddie wannabe of 'Lord of the Rings'. This is above that.
This is a wonderful story about adolescence: trying to maintain your inner child while reality eats away at it. It's the conflicting experience everyone gets: parents, siblings, bullies, teachers, school crushes, and of course friendship. You will get emotional!
The only flaw is the plot is very similar to a certain family movie. My girlfriend sniffed it out halfway through.
What I would change
Changed the marketing. I repeat, this is a great family drama, not a fantasy.
