Rare story with thought provoking message.
Never saw this one as a kid but got it for my children and started out watching and thinking it was too full of old cliches and sterotypes. Then began to understand why this story stands up to time. It is about very difficult choices, friendship, loyalty, tribe and ultimately right and wrong. These complicated social issues are handled without being preachy or dogmatic, but making you really think. What an impressive change from the tired princess nonesense. The kids love it, has all the good elements of story telling and keeps them interested, but even my 3 year old talks about the problems each of the characters is facing. It is worth adding to your library and it is a regular favorite choice for my 3 girls.
