My grandson and I just got back from seeing “Spiderwick” It was a great movie! It brought me back to opening up my imagination.
In the movie we have such characters as Thimbletack who is a “house brownie” who turns into a “Boggart” if he is angered. You must feed him honey to keep him calm. We also have some goblins who are the ogre’s helpers. Then there was also Hogsqueal who loved to eat birds!
The story is about a boy who sees the house brownie and finds the book that his late great great uncle wrote called the field guide. He ends up having to save the book and his family from the big bad ogre and the bad goblins.
It was a movie I enjoyed seeing with my grandson. I wouldn’t recommend it for small children of 4 or 5 if they scare easily. I think some parts had my 8 year old grandson on the edge of his seat a couple of times!
