Since this movie (rated PG) received 5 Oscars (nominated for 11), we put it on our NetFlix queue. It won for things like cinematography and art direction and sound and costumes. It was magical and amazing to watch. To me, it has a Jules Verne look. It didn't hurt that it takes place in Paris with French-inspired music. (Would have been even better with French accents.) We liked the story and how it unfolded. Evidently it is done in 3D...so we may have to try that out since we have the technology and glasses. I liked the closing credit song "Coeur Volant" ("Flying Heart") by Zaz and had to look it up to listen again and get the lyrics (in French, and also the English translation.) We recommend Hugo (a few scary parts for kids) and hope you get a chance to see it.
