The audience that will enjoy this big fantasy adventure the most is likely aged the same as its heroes and heroines: teens and younger. As in the many ways comparable The Golden Compass, the children take a very active role. Despite being ordinary, very British urban children, they accomplish great deeds fighting the evil army alongside the forces of good. They also meet fantasy creatures of all sorts, including some arguably silly ones, like Santa Claus. Not my cup of tea, but then, it's a while since I was a kid.

The notable young actress Georgie plays the youngest sibling Lucy, and plays her well. With her fresh expressiveness Georgie stands out in any crowd, and all the more compared to mediocre performances of the other children of the movie. She's very natural and her positive energy is catchy. A fine example of her self confidence outside her role is her somewhat famous "Potty Mouth Bucket," where anyone who swore on the set had to drop $2. I recommend checking out the interview where she mentions that; she's a fun girl to listen to.
