Very touching movie!
Added 3/18/2010
The first 10 minutes of this movie and the last 5 minutes of this movie are the most touching, romantic, and tear jerking moments in this film. There's also some great metaphors sprinkled throughout the movie, too, especially about learning to let go of the past in order to appreciate the present. I especially liked the scene where all his furniture comes flying out of his house and I took note of how the furniture landed on the ground.
It surprised me that a kid's movie would be so meaningful. I'm sure the meaning will be lost on little kids, but they should still appreciate this movie given the imaginative aspect of it (a flying house, a talking dog) and will probably think the little boy and dog are funny. And adults will be reaching for the tissue box. So this is a movie I see both adults and kids liking.
The reason I gave this 4 instead of 5 stars (that was a hard thing to do since I loved this movie so much) was because it was slow moving at parts and the whole villain with attack dogs didn't quite work for me for some reason. But other than that, a great movie!

Great Movie WONDERFUL disk package
Added 3/18/2010
This movie is just wonderful. Great simple elegant tale that does not try to be more than it is -- just a great engaging story.
this combo pack of disks are an excellent package
The digital copy I downloaded quite simply from ITunes -- the copy is on my laptop and my I-Touch
the Blu Ray is beautiful with great extra features
the DVD is nice so that if grandaughter wants to watch it in her room (no Blu Ray player) she can go there to watch it.
Great movie packaged in multiple ways for multiple viewing options.

Uplifting.

I purchased this video based on the shorts that I had seen advertised. This animated film is a wonderful "adult" type of video that demonstrates this medium can convey very touching human emotion that one expects from regular film. The characters both human and non are wonderful and I would recommend it for anyone! My son who 'isn't into animated cartoons' really liked this one.

The DVD disc does not offer Spanish track
Added 3/17/2010
When I bought this Blu-rey DVD combo, I thought I would have the same options on both discs. Apparently, the Blu-ray version contains all the options (different audio tracks) but the DVD version does not. This was not clear in the Amazon description. If you buy the DVD version alone, it does provide the different language audio tracks. I don't understand why that is not the case for the combo...just be forewarned.

Wonderful family movie!
Added 3/16/2010
We love this movie. I think we have watched the whole movie three times. Then we go back to favorite parts and start over again. When we wear it out, we'll buy another!
