I'm so excited! Yeah I don't know why the use of Arcade Fire in movie trailers makes me happy. But it's great. :D:D

I saw this on Sunday. It was pretty okay for a movie aimed at kids, surprisingly refreshing in the face of most Disney-esque kids movies. Good art direction, too. But...

it's not a kid movie; that is to say, it was not conceived, written, or directed as a children's film. spike has said, in interviews, that it is specifically for young adults who had read the book when they were kids.

It obviously has a "I read this book as a kid, and now that I'm an adult I want to make a movie out of it" feel. Even while watching, I could tell that the filmmaker probably enjoyed the book as a kid (like I did) and wanted to make a movie as a sort of homage to it, as an adult (as I am now, too). This explains the ~20-year gap between the publishing of the book and the making of the film. I mean to say that it's a kids' movie in the sense that children will go to see it, and adults will probably take their kids to see it, too -- which doesn't make a film a "kids' movie" in the Disney sense, but that's what I meant by my use of the term.
