What's not to like?

"I still don't get why so many people who have seen it dislike it so much. I first saw it when it was playing on Cartoon Network. I liked it so much that I had to get it on videotape. Granted, the moralizing was a bit heavy-handed, but all the same, I loved it when I was young and still find it entertaining now. BTW: Those of you who did not like the movie may want to read the book. It is just as good, maybe better, but has things put better into perspective...."

πŸ’‘ Did You Know?

Norton Juster, author of the book upon which this film is based, had no input on the adaptation, and many characters from the book weren't included in the film. He didn't like the film, and was angered by positive reviews.
