 If you're looking for a movie your young child will enjoy, this one is a CLASSIC. The "Emmy Award Winning" special effects are seriously dated by today's standards, still the underlying message is timeless. The film is curiously realistic, despite the imaginary venue. (Don't forget, a child's imagination is quite REAL!) Kids can relate to the "value of a hug," and they KNOW what it's like to feel powerless. Hence, the adventure through the looking glass wherein heart-inspired heroism is acted out. Trust me, there's far more to this production than meets the (adult) eye, even a point of wisdom made by the insane-and-beautiful queen, whose self-obsession -- and focus on the superficial -- is what MAKES her evil. The acting ranges from terrific to terrible, with some of the best performances turned in by the animated PUPPETS! (Warning: Don't confuse the live-action movie with the "animated stories.")
