This movie involves w/ doing of black magic. I don't think that younger kids should watch this as this can be frightening. About bringing the deads back to life of using a magical cauldron. This movie is not known as much but is still okay to watch. At least there was a lesson about friendship of choosing which is more important. Got lots of scary scenes that might scare you, though.

I don't think this movie is a bad or poorly made one. It just wasn't what I was looking for when I rented it. It is darker; almost like the true, anime films. It was interesting, and a definite change from what one expects from Disney, animated films. I am a big, fantasy fan, so that's probably why I wasn't upset about how this movie differs from the usual sort of Disney, animated film. It had a classic fantasy kind of feel to it. Vaguely makes one think of LOTR and Wheel of Time or something like that.

This video is so awful the quality sucks and you should be ashamed that I had to pay for this. You should seriously reconsider offering this because it made me want to throw my computer out the window. I want a refund.
