Ella und der schwarze Jaguar

This movie is a sweet family movie, that will appeal to the younger girls. There's not that much going on for the parents. The plot is predictable and the moral of the story is kind of force fed to you, but I have to be honest: it was quite fun to watch with our 6 year old daughter.

The movie has almost all the pitfalls of a family movie: overacting adults, too wise kid role, thin plot, deadly situations that are easily survived, and so on. But the main character is well played. The goofy teacher role is not believable (what is she doing there in the jungle?), but it is still filled in quite well. And if you like some jungle shots with waterfalls, you won't be disappointed.
