A teenaged girl discovers a world of little people in this fun animation based on William Joyce’s book. Amanda Seyfried voices Mary Katherine, a feisty girl who despairs of her obsessive biologist father – until she’s shrunk to the size of an insect and thrown into the middle of a battle between good and evil. The story’s familiar but suspenseful and the characters well drawn in both senses – even the comedy sidekicks should appeal to parents as well as kids (step forward Chris O’Dowd and Judah Friedlander as a snail and slug respectively). Good solid family entertainment.
