My son is only 3, but he LOVES trains. I was so excited when we had the opportunity to review “The Little Engine That Could“. Since he loves watching movies and he loves trains, I had a feeling that this was going to be a hit.
About the movie:
“I think I can I think I can…” The timeless story comes to life in this all-new feature-length film filled with fun and adventure! When Little Engine (Alyson Stoner Cheaper by the Dozen) must leave Dreamland to deliver toys into the real world she sets her fears aside and learns that with a little determination and courage anything is possible. Featuring an all-star cast including Whoopi Goldberg (The View) Jamie Lee Curtis (Freaky Friday) Corbin Bleu (High School Musical) and Brenda Song (The Suite Life of Zack and Cody) this “fun family film” (Francine Brokaw Los Angeles Family Magazine) is one you’ll enjoy again and again.
Watch the trailer:
So how did Christopher like it? Well, let’s say that he watched the entire movie without asking me to change the channel. He also wanted to watch it again after it was over. So yes, he LOVES this movie. I remember this story from back in the VHS days. I was pretty impressed with the animation of this movie, it has definitely improved over the years.
