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'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 Boxcar Children is, while an accurate representation of the book also of the same name, not the best in a few words. The combination of 2D and 3D animation looked awkward, and I honestly have to ask: What's so wrong with the actual book? I mean sure, it's great for younger children who cannot read, but still, can't you just read the actual book?Honestly, I don't really know how to feel about this movie, But I will say that it definitely could have been MUCH better if they had just given the movie the feel of a book. Now I know, Harry Potter wasn't exactly like the book, but THAT didn't stop it from being good!So, in conclusion, I would just say go to your local Barnes and Noble, Buy the book, and just read it. It gives you a better experience than this.

This movie is a great adaptation of the 1st book in the popular kids series. Fans of the books will appreciate how the movie stays true to the spirit and feel of the book. It is heartwarming and sweet. Even kids (and adults) who are not familiar with these books will love the movie. The story is entertaining, warm and uplifting. The children in the movie are caring and supportive. The positive messages about hard work, creativity, love and family make this a movie parents will be happy to have their kids watch again and again.It's a wonderful movie for the whole family. Hopefully we'll see more from the series.Highly recommend!
