It was cute but I felt like it was a little too ideological for a kids movie. Good message taken a bit too far, just my opinion.

I took my niece to see it in the theater. It was really psychedelic. The message was good, but I much prefer the original version.

The book was a favorite of mine growing up. The movie was OK.

The message is to think long term, be responsible for your actions, do the right thing even if it means it's not the easiest or quickest thing to do. Stand up for yourself and others.

All good messages, IMO.

I thought the individual serving sized bottled air was funny. It seemed less anti-business and more anti-mindless consumerism to me. I mean, bottled air was the main product being sold in a world of high surveillance.

Maybe we just see what we want to see.

As always though, the book was better.
