We haven’t seen the movie yet, but we can’t wait. We’ve been long time fans of the dolls and books. We love Abigail Breslin, too. She’s a living doll!
I’ve heard the movie is enjoyable for parents as well as the kids, so that’s exciting! We weren’t sure about how the boys would like it, though. You mentioned you thought it would be perfect for the whole family, so thank you for that!
