Very cute movie for kids, but adults will find the humor in it too. This teaches children that although some wishes do come true, be careful what you wish for.

"It"(Sand Witch) was made by the wonderful puppeteer, Jim Henson (The Muppets) and the voice of Eddie Izzard and both are so charming.

It's awesome, the sand fairy or Eddie Izzard rocks. It's worth watching for both kids and adults alike. If you love the Chronicles of Narnia you should pick this one up. Freddy Highmore Is the kid from August Rush & The Spiderwick Chronicles, As per usual His performance is amazing It's all About These 5 Children That go to live on this sprawling mansion during the war, Freddy Highmore's Character finds a door In the garden & though he's been warned to stay out of the garden- Is lead to the beach below, where the sand fairy lives. The Sand fairy grants wishes but as you may have guest they go down hill pretty fast. This movie teaches children about honesty, friendship and to be careful what you wish for.
