Saw it the other day, pretty decent size crowd for a monday matinee. I only remember the cartoon and parts of the bbc/pbs version, so I pretty much went in blind without any expectations. Much like Locke7, i was also pleasantly surprised considering Disney's involvement. Tilda Swinton was alot darker than I thought she'd be, which is of course a good thing. My only complaint is how flat some of the acting came across. I really only enjoyed Edmund, who came off as such a whiny cigarrette bugger (again, a good thing.) The other kids looked kinda robotic/numb. And I swear I could not tell if Lucy was going to laugh or cry. Other than that, it's a great family movie, with enough story for the parents and enough cute/prettyness for the kids.
