3/10
An over-simplified, Disney version of an intelligent, successful novel
5 September 2006
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is supposed to be based on a Ring of Endless light by Madeleine L'Engle but completely veers from the text. Disney made an interesting book about coping with death and dying, and finding your place in the universe a sappy movie about illegal fishing that has nothing to do with the novel. Anyone who has read the book will be highly disappointed about how this book has chopped into pieces to make a magical ending that seems deeper than it really is. This would be a great Disney movie if it hadn't been proclaimed to be based on a Ring of Endless Light, because it is mostly lighthearted and good for children, but it is absolutely horrid for true L'Engle fans.
