This movie is awful. However, for reasons unbeknown to me, my kid likes this movie.*Spoiler* You have been warned.To respond to a few of the reviews, in the context of the movie, it makes sense that the old guy would hide the book in the church, given that most people in previous generations went to church - even if they weren't 'believers'. People are correct when they say that all viewers aren't Christian, but it is also correct to point out that a lot of Disney viewers are Christians and support the Disney brand because they tend to be family-friendly. It's a delicate line movie makers walk to tell their stories. I'm not sure how you'd tell this particular story and exclude the church and the "good/evil" element. It would have lost a lot of its 'punch'. Honestly, I thought this scene w/the old man and the kids in the church was the best part of the movie. Besides the end.

I mostly love to watch movies for kids,but this one was so bad that I couldn't even stand to see the whole movie. I don't appreciate a lot of animals which talk,even more those who have the leading roles. The plot was thin with a lack of fantasy. Children's acting was fine, but sorcerer's was kinda bad. It has,though,something that simulated to the good Disney movies,but it wasn't enough. If you are an adult probably you won't enjoy it. My younger brother(11 years old) and sister(14 years old) got bored in about 15 minutes,too. It seems to me that this film is only suitable for children under 5 years old, because this scenario can't convince anybody else.

We wanted a movie from Cox on Demand. It was between space Jam, or this garbage. When Air Bud came out, it was a great movie about man's best friend, and playing basketball with him. It slowly regressed to a lame movie that only Justin Bieber- Disney XD liking brainwashed children can like. SPOILER AHEAD YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!the story consists of a hell-hound who tries to eat the souls of five sibling puppies, the puppies masters dress them up for Halloween, and big surprise, they can talk. Just like the previous movies. I don't deny that the hell-hound might scare little children, but from what I saw, they are expecting a horror of demonic proportions like Paranormal Activity, or anything Stephen king writes

I managed to get hold of an advanced copy of the movie and my 9 year old was jumping for joy about that, I wasn't holding my breath about watching this movie with her but we both laughed within 30 seconds of it starting. The production quality was equal to the other 3 in the series and I was very pleased because of that alone. The acting was pretty over the top but for young kids it was perfect and nothing too scary, the story line was pretty thin but it kept my little girl dancing up and down right up to the final elimination of the bad evil Warlock. It was all too cheesy but these movies are what it is all about as kids love cheesy and need a simple plot or they get lost. I for one will say it is OK for young kids and not too silly but Pixar movies are far superior and let kids use their own imagination more as well as letting adults enjoy them.
