The Boxcar Children DVD Review & Giveaway

August 19, 2014 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy

Do you remember reading The Boxcar Children books when you were a kid? I do! And I loved them! My kids have read, and love them, also. There is a new, animated, The Boxcar Children DVD now available!

The Boxcar Children DVD

The Boxcar Children tells the story of four orphaned and homeless siblings who happen upon an abandoned boxcar. With a little creativity and hard work, they gradually furnish it 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.

The Boxcar Children features an all-star cast of voice actors, including Academy Award Nominee Martin Sheen (Apocalypse Now), J.K. Simmons (Spiderman), Zach Gordon (Diary of a Wimpy Kid), Joey King (Fargo), Mackenzie Foy (Twilight series), and Jadon Sand (LEGO: The Movie).

This is the very first full-length, animated feature adaptation of Gertrude Chandler Warner’s best-selling classic The Boxcar Children! It is Dove Approved for all ages. The Boxcar Children DVD will become a new family favorite. It’s a fun, and lively, animated movie. You’ll reconnect with some friends from your childhood, and your children will make some new friends. Don’t forget, that in addition to watching this dvd together as a family, to read The Boxcar Children books together as a family!

  • The Boxcar Children E-book preview
  • The Boxcar Children Guide To Adventure E-book preview
  • Printable Town Map
  • Official Soundtrack

    I love the Boxcar Children. I remember as a little girl spending the night at my Grandparents and staying up reading these books. My cousin and I would sometimes reenact out our favorite scenes. My boys now love reading these books so winning the video would be an extra special treat for them. Thank you for the giveaway. (ps. Your Instagram link at the top of the page isn’t working)

    I’m looking forward to watching this because The Boxcar Children was my favorite book when I was a child. When my children were in elementary school, I bought the book for them and it became one of their favorites.

    I love the Boxcar Children they are clean well written books the whole family can enjoy! I just introduced my boys to the series and we are on book 5! I didn’t even know they had a DVD this would be a hit here and couldn’t come at a better time.

    All three girls loved reading these books! I know the youngest will be thrilled there is a Video available – she also claims that the Boxcar Children are her favorite chapter books. Thanks for hosting the give-away and to including us Canadian homeschoolers in it.

    I loved reading that they create a home for themselves in an abandoned boxcar in the forest. And, grandpa moves the boxcar to his backyard. Nice!

    My children love mysteries so they’ve loved this series. I love how the siblings all care for each other and are responsible. We love the books!

    The boxcar Children boxes were well read around my house. I knew they were good books and I didn’t have to worry what was in them.

    They are great books for kids — easy to understand the story.

    I like that the Boxcar Children series emphasizes sibling togetherness. We would first read the books and then view the DVD. You could then compare and contrast how the books and the DVD are alike and different.

  23. Danielle Jones says

    September 1, 2014 at 10:59 pm

    My favorite thing about the Box car Children is that they are always on an adventure or solving a mystery. I remember reading these books and a child and hope that my son will start reading them too.

    I love that they are good clean adventures that can keep the interest of a child without all the blood and gore they see all the time today.
