A beautiful mystical story about a young girl following her own path as her family is going through some rough times. I was hooked immediately when the elk came out of the mist and leaped over Julie"s head and she found her first piece of gold. The story is heartwarming and real. The parents aren't perfect and the tension is palpable. The sisters are true to life and are at times angry, protective, and supportive of each other. Susan's boyfriend was endearingly dumb. The idiot treasure hunters were hilarious. I jumped in my seat at the scary parts just like the 12 year old sitting next to me. I think this is a great family movie with the story about the legend of the treasure enhanced by the beautiful puppets.
