I don't usually rate movies. But this one's been getting a bad rep for all the wrong reasons. So here I am. No, this movie isn't too mature for younger kids, but yes some things might go over their heads. No, pixar hasn't lost it's touch. No, the movie doesn't teach kids to be any more rebellious than Inside Out did. And yes, there is a moral to be had and it's the same one as Inside Out — that parents need to talk with their kids and actually understand them, especially in teenage years. When your child is afraid to talk to you or speak their mind, they keep secrets/run away. Talk with your kids. Have empathy. And have a nice day :)

Love it. It terrified me as a kid and I even loved it then. I love the aesthetics of the dolls and machines, the mystery of it all, the fact that Tim Burton wasn't afraid to make it dark as it is. The ending leaves a little to be desired, but at least it ended on a semi-happy note.
