Stephen C @bob25009 May 28 Successful family animation movie in just 1 hour and 26 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Mindy J Mar 12 I see people giving this a low score for animation, it honestly didn't bother me. My 3 kids from 3-10 in age all loved it. We've read the books many times and they did such a good job. This is such a sweet simple telling of the book. Unlike a lot of kid shows with a million frames per second, flashing lights and changing scenes, this follows along their adventure slowly but is still entertaining and holds your attention. With a lot of shows having their main characters act entitled and bratty the main characters good attitudes and perseverance is refreshing!

See more 08/01/2022 The greatest 01 hour: and 26 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 11/14/2018 0/10 the animation sucked I have no idea how it has 65% but one time a kid ate a piece of bread and it came out his mouth with no bite,but 7 seconds later there was a bite in the bread. See more 11/08/2017 I watched The Boxcar Children with two of my grandchildren (ages 6 and 8) and we all loved the movie. I am hoping this will inspire them to read the books.
