This has to be one of the more unfortuntaely named books ever.

What the freakity fucking hell is this? Why??????????? Why must you systematically murder my childhood, Disney?

Seriously, WTF?

I wish I had not watched that. My head hurts now.

OK, I never read the book, but we watched the movie in elementary school. I don't remember much except crying, but I think I would remember all of the fantasy stuff. Was that in the original movie?

Nope. It's not a fantasy - they're real world kids playing pretend, and even that is a pretty minor part of the story.

So either the movie has been made into a fantasy and is completely unlike the book, or they're billing it incorrectly and a lot of people are going to take their little kids who are going to be traumatized for life.
