MIX UP REVIEWS:
Sophie (Age 9) - ★★★★★
"A magical adventure for all book lovers about silvertongues who can read characters in and out books. My favourite character was Elinor played by Helen Mirren because she never gives up even after all her books are torn apart. I'd recommend this film for people who like reading adventure books and twisted tales."

For a fantastic fantasy movie with ghosts and creatures check out the amazing Spirited Away. The Harry Potter movies is perfect family fare with a spooky side and also includes Jim Broadbent. Inside Out plays with memories and Jumanji has a board game rather than a magic book, similarly the Wreck-It Ralph movies is a similar concept but with video games.. The creative team behind the movie were also involved in Rise of the Guardians and Oz the Great and Powerful.
