If you are looking for a really good movie to watch with the family. The Boxcar Children is the perfect one. If you are not familiar with the Boxcar Children, it is a children’s literary franchise originally created and written by an American writer and first-grade school teacher. The series includes well over 100 titles and is aimed at readers in grades 2-6. I am happy to announce that the beloved series is now a movie and available on DVD.
I recently received a copy of the movie for review and was very pleased. I am always on the look out for wholesome family movies that I can enjoy with my entire family, I am happy to say that The Boxcar Children is just that, a movie that the whole family can enjoy.The animation is that of a computer type which kept my children’s attention the entire way through, even my Five year old was glued to the television.
The Boxcar Children is about four orphaned and homeless siblings who happen upon an abandoned boxcar, which with a little creativity and hard work, they gradually furnish with all the comforts of home. Fearful that they will be sent to live with the reputedly cruel grandfather they have never met, the children keep their new home a secret – until a serious illness forces them to reveal themselves in order to save young Violet.
