Filming a book, not making a movie.

Rating: 10/10 (1 December 2001)

I've seen this movie twice, and it was just as great the second time. I rarely see movies in the theater, much less repeats. It had wonderful casting, around the book, not around any particular star. It was the filming of a book, not the making of a movie, and stayed relatively faithful to the original, especially compared to most adaptations of popular books. A definite must-see for adults and children alike. The first time I saw it was with my parents and 18-year-old brother, the second with my 27-year-old fiance. We all enjoyed it as much, and perhaps more than, the children in the theater.
