Overrated and overhyped

One of my all time favorites.

Boring

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

When I first watched this animated film in 2014, it make me feel touched of helping others and truehearted warming support of the siblings and it make me want to work hard for a living and to enjoy a country feel of this film. A great adaptation from the first Boxcar Children book and it really became one of the best animated films of all time! I would highly recommend to every Boxcar Children fan out there!

I'm not going to harp on this movie much for its bad animation and choppy characters that look and move an awful lot like the characters in the Heidi series from a few years ago. I'm going to tell you you what is great about this movie.Unlike most movies or shows for kids now a days boxcar children is not obnoxious. It's the calmest and most laid back program I've ever seen for children. It really mellowed out my 5 year old daughter. It was relaxing for she and I both. That's what i loved about this title the most.I wish there were more of these movies to be made. There just aren't enough things for kids to watch that are safe and relaxing as well as watchable.

I've seen many movies made from books in the past, and I will say this one does not let you down. I enjoyed this movie just as much if not more than I enjoyed the book, simply for the artistic depiction of nature that really set the mood. As far as accuracy, the movie hit all the points I would have wanted and expected to remain from the book. The movie as a whole was very well made to cater to the age group of those who would otherwise be reading the book series right now. But it does hold on well for those who read the books during their childhood as well. The only thing I could ask is that A) they could have given the kids more than just a single pair of clothes, and B) They make a sequel that is just as true to the second book as this movie is to the first book.

The movie is a low budget adaptation of the book. It is a very warm and gentle, even old fashioned kind of film. Very safe and you don't have to worry about your kids watching it over and over as it has a very positive message. Just like in the book, the kids are polite and supportive of each other. They discover that hard work leads to independence and that the most important thing is life is your family.There are one or two mildly scary moments but for the most part this is a movie even little kids can watch with any worries. I wish there were more movies like this being made for kids these days.Also I would recommend reading the book to your kids cause it makes watching the movie even more fun.
