This book was, and is still, one of my all-time favorite children's books. I wasn't expecting much when I saw the movie, and so was not too disappointed. (Spoiler) The book itself is fairly short and sparse; the scene where Meg wins Charles back was, I thought, much more dramatic in the novel than in the long, drawn-out movie scene (and what was with all those snakes in that scene?). However, it was entertaining enough, and a good enough tale of love winning over hate, individuality winning over conformity, and, as I like in Disney movies, a good showcase for kids exemplifying the traits of loyalty, courage, and family togetherness. So take the kids; they'll like it. But do have them read the book too!
