This was well acted, very pretty to look at, had an interesting plot and was, alas, very slow. This was also the first modern 3-D movie I’ve seen and I found the 3-D to be a very distracting experience. “More like a Viewmaster, than actual 3-D” the person behind me commented and I couldn’t agree more.

I am choosing not to see this movie because it is based on a wonderful book. I loved the book, a Caldecott winner, and don't want it ruined. And the idea of the 3-D makes it even less appealing!
