Maybe it's because I was just over there, maybe it's my affinity for the fantastic, but I loved this movie.
I think perhaps I had more invested, having not to long ago stood in Scotland's national war memorial, but I found this to be a very sweet story blending the tragic background of WWII era Scotland with the escapades of a young boys' new pet. The boy's trials and tribulations with the pet, and and he and his family's coming to terms with the insanity that surrounded them was gently and honestly done.
Remarkable CGI - I imagine this was great in the theaters.
Sad, but in the uplifting children's movie kind of way. Not ashamed that I snuffled a bit at the end.
Made me wish I was still over there.
