Maybe cause I'm a guy, and this was one film that had a boy as a hero.

It works sometimes - the Winterling series is also pretty middle grade, but I enjoyed it. But you kind of have to be expecting middle grade fantasy because you know that's what you're getting into in order to enjoy it. Or, at least, I do.Anniehttp://anniejacksonbooks.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507186203094106045.post-78177492535733462452014-06-29T16:46:07.387-06:002014-06-29T16:46:07.387-06:00Off topic... are you going to go and see Transform...Off topic... are you going to go and see Transformers 4?

The authors main inspiration was Tolkien, which is very very apparent in the books. So Disney brings this to the screen since LOTR rights were tied up at the time. I think this would be a good live action film too. ... one even made more for kids like the Harry Potter films.Angelas Anxious Lifehttp://angelasanxiouslife.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507186203094106045.post-50175133300991820982014-06-29T00:21:37.937-06:002014-06-29T00:21:37.937-06:00At least you remember it!

I think maybe had I seen this movie more as a kid I would've liked it. But since Disney withheld it from being released on DVD (meaning it didn't get released until 1995) that could be why I never loved it. By 1995 I was a teenager and other Disney movies has surpassed this film that year ( the Lion King in 1994 and Toy Story in 1995). So this film was way off my radar.Angelas Anxious Lifehttp://angelasanxiouslife.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507186203094106045.post-64089757918624459322014-06-29T00:18:36.317-06:002014-06-29T00:18:36.317-06:00Crunchins and Munchins!!!

I want to see it again from a different stand point. Sometimes I find if I watch something twice I like it the second time around.

Sometimes I can treat the movie as something totally different from the book, but I just couldn't do it with this one. Someday I hope the books get the (live-action) film treatment they deserve. I know people who saw it without reading the books and liked it, though, so the movie must have some good points -- and thank you for pointing them out, because I've not been able to see past my anger and disappointment.Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoardhttp://bookwyrms-hoard.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507186203094106045.post-44260036294386094402014-06-28T07:56:22.060-06:002014-06-28T07:56:22.060-06:00I had this in computer game form back in the 80s a...I had this in computer game form back in the 80s and really enjoyed it so my memory of the movie is really good.
