The best fantasy movie ever made, and probably the only one I've ever liked

I really loved this movie, which is impressive since I usually can't stand fantasy/adventure movies. It affected me on a nostalgic level, as I had seen it once before, when I was about 7-8 years old, and seeing it again(now 17, soon to be 18) brought back a lot of memories. The movie is like it's made up of hundreds of kids' imaginations. It brings you some of the most memorable and fantastic creatures ever seen on film. Of course the effects seem awfully dated, especially now, where practically every new movie has CGI effects; but they're still good enough, and they were very good in their time. The plot is great, it evolves at a perfect pace, and keeps your interest from the very first second to the very last. I never took my eyes off the screen. The acting is also great, which is quite an achievement, considering the fact that a lot of the cast consists of child actors, but they all portray their respective characters well, and pull off believable performances. The characters are well-written, and, considering that they mainly consist of fantasy creatures, they're all perfectly credible. There isn't really anything in this masterpiece of fantasy/adventure that I would change in any way; even the few things that are corny have their own charm. I recommend this to any kid, and any person of any age who enjoys fantasy/adventure. It's definitely worth watching. 10/10
