    A 'nice' film for kids with a moral

    This is a nice film for kids. My daughter who is 7 really enjoyed it. the fact that it is based on a true story is even better as it led onto 'educational' type questions from my daughter.... eg, where is Alaska, whats diptheria etc so as well as being a worthwhile 'animation' it is a good starting point for questions about history, geography etc. Get the popcorn out, snuggle up on the sofa with the kids and enjoy!
