I saw this movie when it came out and at the time I was only 3. I think that although this movie is entertaining to adults, it is for children too. Sure there are some dark scenes and scary characters, but over all it is about the balance of good and evil. I think even young children can relate to that. My 3 year old and 4 year old have seen it and are not scared. I love the things Jim Henson has done in movies or movies that he has been involved in. I hope his workshop can put out some more of these gems. Labrynth was excellent, and his workshop also was involved in the movie Buddy, which my children adore. I love this film. I would recommend it for the whole family. By no means should this movie be kept from children, even the younger ones, unless they are highly sensitive. My generation had bad guys and scary creatures and themes that dealt with good and bad, I think our children will be just fine. This is a beloved family feature. Watch and Enjoy.

Stephen King is an amazing writer. And more times than not I enjoy the movies made from his stories. But this movie was disappointing. Perhaps if you didn't read the short story on which this was based, you could enjoy this movie. While watching, I wondered if the person who wrote and or made this movie was familiar with other short stories of Kings. I think this movie had too much garbage that wasn't in the story and I felt it wasn't true to what King had written. I've read almost everything he has written and seen most of his movies. I just couldn't get into this movie. But if you haven't read the short story of the same name, do so, it is good.
