After playing it safe with one too many sequels it's nice to see Pixar has still got the magic touch with one of their best in years. Imaginative, creative and full of heart and humour. Well worth your time.

Not quite as imaginative as some of Seuss's classics but still a fun read for kids and their parents.

I preferred reading than watching! Well written and with lots of descriptive details. Really really enjoyed reading this... disappointed at how quick I finished it though. Done and dusted in 3 hours. Imaginative story

Not what I was expecting
I wasn't expecting to like this movie as much as i did. I loved the cover of blackbird, and found my friends and I laughing at a lot at the hidden adult humour.

"“I was always a HUGE fan of all things Roald Dahl… nobody wrote more imaginative stories for kids. These worlds he created had the nonsensical appeal of Dr. Seuss, while at the same time, the characters were all written with wonderful complexities and enormous heart"

I love how the author blends history and fiction together. This one is set around the time of the plague and the great fire of London. Very imaginative as usual. I do love this series and can't wait for more or Sam and the gang.

Such an imaginative anime. Two little guys are dealing with the grief and confusion of their mother being in hospital while their imaginations are filled with the spirits of the forest in and around their home. Beautiful and tranquil scenes with wonderful creatures and adorable characters.

Masterpiece of cleverness
When I first used social media, I would only speak in quotes from this.

Alice is the greatest existential hero ever imagined.

A new world to start a new series
This series started creates an amazing new world. The characters are very well developed. The fantasy elements are well done and believable. The right blend of action and drama is used to catch the readers attention.

Farmer Brown has a labor problem when his cows go on strike. Imaginative and very funny for kids of all ages.

And remember - Duck was a neutral party.
