This film has been in production for ages. There were reports of initial screenings that left children in tears. I want to see that version.

The creatures look great, but it will all weigh upon expanding upon the story established in this beloved children’s book and making it a worthwhile spending 90 minutes in a theater. I wonder if I still have my copy or if I’m going to have to call my mom to dig it out of storage… Click below to check it out…
