I saw this movie and I will say I was impressed with it. I didnt read the book but my sister did and she said that it was like the book, yet some things were different. But of course they changed some things in the book because (1) its a movie..the book is always better and has more meaning and (2)...look at the company that made it. Its Disney, of course they are gonna put the "disney" twist on it to make it more appealing to children...I mean, thats how they get money
