Has anyone seen The Secret of Moonacre? Need sleepover movie

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
DD is going to be 9 and is having a sleepover with a couple friends ranging in age from 7.5 - 9 yo.

We're trying to find a movie that everyone hasn't seen but also one that's pretty squeaky clean.

In googling, I came across The Secret of Moonacre
http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Moonacre-Tim-Curry/dp/B003RHZ6IE

Plugged In doesn't have a review so, I was hoping to see if anyone had seen it nd your thoughts?

The other one we're considering is A Cinderella Story but, 2 of the girls have seen it and, there are some mild issues on plugged in.

Have not see it but I like this website for reviewing kids movies. HTH's!

Parents need to know that this enchanting fairy tale has some sad and scary scenes that might be disturbing for very young or sensitive kids. Maria loses her father early in the movie, though the audience never actually meets him. Also, one family is portrayed as villainous, and they wear dark clothes and masks, and there are some brief battle scenes with Maria being chased.  A magical, protective black dog has red eyes and transforms into a fierce lion when the enemies appear. Maria -- who's selfless and generous -- is a great role model for kids, and the movie has strongly positive messages about achieving your goals.

There are a lot of movies for kids. How about Tangled, Shrek 1,2,3, Toy Story 3.

These are pretty squeaky clean. The first one for younger kids. The second one appeals to preteens.
