Finish what you started. A good peril-picture for a family that can take a stampede.
Alan is a fatherless adventure that becomes a caution: the game does not care that you are bored of it. The children learn that a fun thing with rules is still a vow. There is noise, and there are creatures, and the ending puts the children back in a life where the work is ordinary. That return is the moral. A fantasy that will not give the child back is a theft. This one gives them back.
Some images are too much for the very small. For everyone else, the lesson is plain enough to say over the credits. You do not quit a dangerous thing in the middle and shut the closet.
