Just seen this for the first time. F*** me, what a great film. As good as Tim Burton. Anyone with kids between ten and fourteen should show them this, its brilliant.

All Credit to Neil Gaiman. a brilliant writer of this genre, its well worth reading his novels american gods and neverwhere

Just watched it again. Even better the second time round - probably the most criminally underrated film ever made.

Its probably the most underrated film of its genre, its superb.

My 8 year old daughter is obssessed with it. She loves anything Tim Burton, but her fascination with this film is almost unhealthy.

It's even more Tim Burtonesque than Tim Burton!

Seconded. And I would add Sandman to that list. Yes its a comic book but its bloody good.

Brilliant film ... Neil Gaiman is great in all genres ... And fully agreed with above post, Sandman is a must read, stunning

Is that the guy who wrote The Wolves in the Wall? Love that book.

I reluctantly sat through this with my daughter and thought it was fantastic. Have seen it twice since.

Slightly off topic, another kids/family film that I loved was Hugo (with Ali G bloke). Visually stunning I thought................

Watched it with my kids. I fell asleep . They liked it but they weren't raving about it.

That's a shame. Still, there's probably a nice James Bond film on or something
