Suggestions for improvement[edit]

The plot summary needs a less play-by-play feel. So many quotes are also unnecessary. It should summarize, not tell every detail of the entire story. PrincessofLlyr (talk) 22:56, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions for improvement[edit]

This article is still a stub because:

It only has one reliable source (Amazon and IMDB aren't good)
The article is overwhelmingly about plot, and little real world info is dealt with

Other suggestions:

Unless quoting in the plot section you don't need to use references

Hope you keep improving the article. If you need any help, contact me on my talk page. Sadads (talk) 23:39, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I removed some details in the plot which I deemed unnecessary, and added in other certain details as best as I could remember. Please edit as needed Wrongusername (talk) 08:09, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment[edit]

As requested at WikiProject CHildren's literature, I have assessed this article and moved it to a Start class. To improve further, please ensure that the article is fluent and correctly punctuated the whole way through, particularly in the Plot Summary section, improve the lead paragraph, find more reliable sources and expand sections of the article which do not relate to the plot. strdst_grl (call me Stardust) 17:40, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Character-->Summary[edit]

Per MOS:CHARACTER, "Most articles do not need this section. Instead, a finely crafted plot summary is used to introduce the characters to the reader." When I encountered this article, it had a Character section, but no Plot, so I reworked the one into the other, incorporating information from the Plot section, as well as transferring some over from the TV movie article.
