Great visual experience, but...one-dimensional point

Rating: 7/10 (24 July 2009)

I was very pleased to see this movie, because it has the same visual effect as many master-pieces of Tim Burton. And I was not disappointed about that segment of movie. Also, the music fits perfectly and gives the right sense of atmosphere during the whole movie.
But, unfortunately, in the end, we got just one-way-message... to the kids. It made me wonder something about most modern parents and how they treat their children. It is obvious that they have to work to provide good life for their kids. So, it means, there is no specific "punishment" or valuable lessons for them because they simply have to do their jobs. I think that's very important for all parents to spend time with their children even when they have to work. But, in this movie, we have the opposite situation. The kid will learn the valuable lesson, but not the parents. They will survive the same situation as the kid, but in the end, they won't be even aware of anything they passed through, I think that screenwriter could find much more realistic solution both-for the kid and the parents.
After all... could have been better-7
