MYSTERIOUS AMULET, THE cover image
What a charming little fantasy film this is. Perfect for young people.

The story follows an 11-year-old girl, Marie, who is visiting a national park with her parents when she discovers a cave where she finds an amulet, talking animals and learns about how the landscape has changed over the many years.

The animation is absolutely gorgeous - it reminds me of a moving watercolor. And the characters, from the little girl, to the talking animals, are very realistic, in an abstract sort of way. The storyline reminds us of the beauty around us and how important it is. I was a bit concerned about the girl wandering off from her parents and entering the cave by herself - which is certainly not something we recommend - but keep in mind that it is fantasy and, in the end, she is reunited with her parents.

The film's message is about taking care of our planet.

I give The Mysterious Amulet 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
