This movie draws on the best in humankind to encourage more of the best! The emotional intelligence exhibited in this movie is awe inspiring. It is paradoxically both realistic - a girl and her family have to deal with a hard, sad thing - and highly imaginative. In fact, I think the whole point of the movie is that creativity and imagination keeps us connected to our hearts, and helps us face hard things with courage. It will make you feel good - but not in a schmaltzy way. You'll feel good because you will have felt both sadness and joy, with some silliness thrown in, allowing all of you to get involved in the story. I highly recommend it for all ages.
