10 Things I Learned From This Film's Forum

1. As you grow older, you lose your sense of wonder.

2. As you grow older, you forget the power of your dreams.

3. As you grow older, you can't stand it if something isn't logical (too bad the universe is BASED on the irrational and illogical - QUANTUM PHYSICS - open a book sometime!)

4. As you grow older, you use the word "lame" more often than kids do.

5. As you grow older, you forget that there are at least a million and one ways to view the world, but sadly you get stuck in yours.

6. As you grow older, you forget how much reality is like a dream - they are both constructs of the mind and there is NOTHING you can do about it but live in denial of that fact.

7. As you grow older, you seemingly forget to see "how anybody, no matter what age could like this movie!"

8. As you grow older, the bright, colorful world of your youth is replaced by slavery to money, slavery to appearances, slavery to your fears.

9. As you grow older, you forget how much you liked the Smurfs.

10. As you grow older, you like to shout at other people your absolute hatred of imagination-filled movies, because sadly you simply don't "get them" anymore.

I agree. I enjoyed this movie a lot, and I'm still technically a kid, yet my reading is at college level. I used to have a lot of imagination and creativity when I was little, and that's gone, and I still miss that. This movie can show how much a kid can create with his mind.

My little sister is ten years old

She thought this movie was extremely stupid.
Please don't insult kids, they aren't that stupid, and apparently your an exception.

There is a difference between the words "your" and "you're". "Your" is a possessive adjective used to signify that you are describing an item that belongs to someone. For example, "Your videos are nice." "You're" is a contraction of "you are." You use in the same situations you would use "you are" in. For example "You're an idiot who makes a ridiculous grammar mistake."

Correcting someone's grammar is the lowest form of insult, if you don't like what they said, come up with an argument, don't point out that you think you are smarter. Smug and self righteous is never pretty on anyone.

It wasn't an insult; I had no problem with the content of his post. I was just trying to help.

Correcting somebody's grammar is just w way to say that you have nothing to say against their argument.

I would agree with you but... you say "5. As you grow older, you forget that there are at least a million and one ways to view the world, but sadly you get stuck in yours."... if this is true then why should you make any other point, everyone has their own way of viewing things and maybe they don't like the movie and maybe they think that nobody else can like the movie... isn't that just one of the 'million and one ways to view the world'?

Well I for one loved this filmed, I went to see it on my day off from work and I had a blast. The one unfortunate thing for me is that the cinematic release was using that red-cyan 3D effect, which I apparently can't see. So I was left watching a mostly brown, slightly blurry image that gave me the mother of headaches. But I had that before when I was in Uni and went to see Spy Kids 3D at the cinema, so I only have myself to blame.

But even so, I loved it. I bought the DVD, and watched the non-headache-y 2D version with my dad. We both loved it, and he thought it was absolutely hilarious in how "out of the box" it is (and no, no sarcasm was evident).

Contrary to the thinking of many of Hollywood's top moguls, they'll never make a film that absolutely everybody loves. This did not try to be that fictional film, it has a definite audience in the young and the young at heart. I'm glad that I am still enough of a kid to enjoy it, and hope that I'll never grow up where it counts. ^_^

I love this post because I'm watching this movie for the first time as I type (commercial break on Disney Channel) and I love it! Technically I'm an adult but I think that, no matter how old I get, I'll always love movies like these.

Im 26 years old and even once in a while I lke to see cartoon network and watch Dexter's Lab or the Powerpuff girls. Its funny and creative. but this movie it isnt. Its very bad written and concived. the effects are awful. while the kids try to do their effort to act they cant save this movie.
and all coz the director thinks he is "the man" of the indi industry. in fact he dosent have a clue in my opinion. he is just a bad writer and bad director who lets his "stars" direct themselves. he even think he can compose music..yeah right... he has his ego so big that he even thinks he can make a good movie out of his son's idea! give me a break.
