Fun monster movie kids will enjoy

It seems to be geared toward 4-5 year olds, but older kids might still enjoy it. My 4 year old nephew went crazy over it and my 2 year old likes it but may not be good for other 2 year olds depending on how sensitive they are to slap-stick violence and some mild emotional content.
