Throughout the film we wondered if it wasn't too emotionally mature for them - it was, but in the 2 weeks since we saw it, it has come up again and again at home in really wonderful ways. Our 4 1/2 year old is a bit of a max and since seeing the movie, he's asked a lot of questions about max and about being angry and it's helped me to talk to him about his own feelings. Our 7 year old loved the story and the music and it helped her to feel proud of how she deals with her feelings - she identified with KW.

I have heard mixed reports about whether it is appropriate for young kids - what do you think? Regardless, from your post it sounds like the movie adaptation is worth seeing, even if it is without your children.
