I remember I used to watch it many times when I was about 5 or 6 years old and it was very entertaining. Even now, being considerable older, I think it's a good film for children to watch. It teaches them kindness, patience, and mercy. The only thing about it that I notice more of now than I did then is the length of the film. It's kind of slow at moving on to the next scene, maybe it's just because I've seen it so many times. The soundtrack is good, the characters are well drawn, there are some memorable lines, and kids could learn a lesson from it. If you're looking for a movie that will teach your child kindness, show them this.

Funny, but could be harmful for kids

Indeed it's a very fun cartoon to watch, the actors made the cartoon characters come to life and there were many memorable moments. However, there are some moments in the film that adults may not notice but which may be somewhat harmful to a young viewer. To make a long story short, it shows kids a role model, a role model doing something bad. There are several scenes where a kid starts crying for petty reasons (such as not getting a dog on his birthday) and many parts where the kid is sitting on a window sill or walking on the roof (which may lead a young viewer to believe that these activities are safe). Anyway, if you're old enough to be able to see what's good and what's bad, it's definitely a fun film to watch. If you're young and take everything in, I recommend against it.
