I found the theme of the movie, moving. The fantasy portion is use as a tool in showing how two children who are having a difficult time in fitting at their school, can find a common theme that bonds them.
I took my two grandchildren to see the moving, 7 & 11, I can tell you that the 7 year old did not quite get the movie. I was able to use the movie as springboard with my oldest grandchild to discuss the theme of friendship and " spoiler alert" how to cope with the death of a young friend.
It is not your usual Disney movie. An adult friend who came with us, was not happy with the movie and did not think that Disney should have made this movie. This movie reminding a little bit about "Stand by Me".
