i saw this when it first come to video and my little sister get it a a gift and i be probably 12 at the time . what stand out for me be the lack of mid movie conflict that so many movie have and where the main character get mad at each other because when it come time to explain themselves they just do not say the one thing that youre shout at the screen that would make sense of the whole deal and that any person of reasonable intellect would know to say . this be what i like the most about the movie i guess and that the main character do not do mean thing to each other halfway through . they do not break up and make up and they just grow to like each other more a the movie go on . these two kid team up and though they seem at first to be from opposite side of the track and theyre not that different . loui be actually just some middle class kid that need to realize how lucky he be to have a loving family and and cecelia be an upper class kid that just need to prove to her family that she exist and they would miss her if she be go . anyway and i saw this movie post on hulu and have to watch it again . sure there plot hole if you analyze the script and no and woog and dweeb shouldn not be eat hot dog since they would have be herbivore in reality . now and what detract from the film be it unexpected scariness . little kid under the age of 5 would probably be frighten by the scene with dr. screweyes . and and the addition of him halfway through the movie ( though it blatantly obvious in the first scene that he will make an appearance ) be too abrupt . there should be a glimpse of him do his show earlier in the movie and perhaps to show that it not that scary without the the dinosaur . i guess it just lack any real present danger for the entire first half of the movie and so that it lack a little continuity when he appear for the second half . consider the target audience and who i be sure can overlook the not so mind blow animation and dialog issue . i think i will give it a pas on those factor too and and just enjoy the story . it a great flick for kid and it do stick in your mind . make you kinda think about how you treat people and it should be revisit every 10 year i think .
