Great books and pretty good movies. I read them to my youngest two kids and went to the movies with them. My daughter and I went Sat. morning. It was great, but will have to go again after the hype dies down. I usually get gung ho to see a movie like this when it's all hyped up, then feel let down when I finally see it. About the time it comes out on dvd I will watch again and think it was the greatest movie on earth.
