I went to this film with my 7 year old expecting to see something like Narnia. That's what the commercials showed - magical creatures, enchanted lands, beautiful castles. But those fantasies, which are the only parts of this film that are advertised, only make up about 20 minutes of footage. The rest of the film is about bullies, child abuse, a distant father and DEATH! When Leslie died I was ready to take my son (and myself) out of the theater, but I decided that may be more traumatic.
My point here is - the advertising of this film is very misleading. It has little to do with magic. It is a film based in real life with real life problems. It is suitable for OLDER kids.
