The Movie vs. The Book: Hugo Cabret

Back in December, when the movie was still in theaters, I read The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick. I saw the movie, by the name of Hugo, over the weekend.

The cast included the following and more:

Hugo Cabret - Asa Butterfield
Isabelle - Chloë Grace Moretz
Georges Melies - Ben Kingsley
Madame Emilie - Frances de la Tour
Monsieur Frick - Richard Griffiths

Overall, I believe the movie followed the book with exciting chase scenes and magical moments. The actors and director made the mystery of the Automaton, the key, and the old man, come alive for the viewer in an egaging and fun way.

This movie is definitely geared toward a younger age level, as was the book.
