Ambitious and resourceful, the plucky children make a happy life for themselves.

Movie Reviews

Common Sense Media - 8/10 by Renee SchonfeldBeautiful, moving animated tale based on classic book series.
User Review - 10/10 by The RI 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.
User Review - 10/10 by Anna MA fun movie that stays very true to the classic book--- the voice acting is wonderful... Joey King as Jesse is a stand out. The animation is well done for a movie on a budget!
User Review - 10/10 by David AThis was an awesome movie, literally every thing about it. From the musical score to the animation, I give it a 10 out of 10. The voice acting was impeccable along with the characters movement within each scene. I really had to do a double take, because it was so wonderfully done; it almost captured my exact imagination as to how the story played out in my mind from when I read the book as a youth. If Phase 4 put out a series of films continuing the story of the Boxcar children, I would purchase and watch every one of them. This is a quintessential feel good movies that is perfect for family, young and old. You really become fully submersed in the storyline, as if you are right their with the main characters. I didn't want it to end!!! If you want a movie that will leave you feeling refreshed and quenched all the while uplifting your spirits and touching your heart, this would be it! I highly recommend it to anyone to watch!

User Review - 10/10 by Doug CVery true to the original story and its nice and calm. My kids watched the movie first then wanted me to read them the book. It might have been more fun to read the book first though.
