We went and saw the movie on Boxing Day as part of my friend's Boxing Day tradition.
This movie is magic! I cannot recommend it highly enough.
We chose it keeping the littlies in mind and, to be fair, whilst they enjoyed it, some of the themes were probably a bit above them (they were 7 and 8).
For us (the adults), the story was incredible, the effects were amazing, the story was glorious ... okay this is becoming adjective crazy but you get the idea. Dustin Hoffman is the master of the quirky character and the supporting cast does their job more than adequately (although do pale against Dustin's brilliance)
If you love zebra cameos, need a block of wood and are looking for a flight of fancy and a motivational kick up the bum, this is the movie for you. As Molly would say "do yourself a favor" :-)

I was thinking of going to this one, but want to see the Golden Compass first...sounds like it was brilliant...but then I love Dustin to...x
i always look for movies to take karate_man and gran-nan to. i remember taking gran-nan to see ice age 2 and she turned to us as the credits rolled and said its marvelous what they can do with costumes these days isn't it? so with that in mind this sounds right up our alley, thanks for the recommendation :)
