BOXCAR CHILDREN, THE – SURPRISE ISLAND

THE BOXCAR CHILDREN – SURPRISE ISLAND REVIEWED

“The Boxcar Children – Surprise Island” wasn’t what I expected. I feel like I’ve been saying that a ton, but here we are. The Aldean children and their wacky dog are back for another adventure. The kids have been having these fun outings since 1924 and what’s better for the modern era than a tale about what white kids did in the 1920s? Martin Sheen plays their grandfather who has a house on Surprise Island. The kids grab their sand pails and fishing poles to have a bright summer fun adventure on Grandpa’s island.

The animation is still atrocious. Over the next 82 minutes, the amazingly strong voice cast works to distract you from the animation. The mileage one gets out of these films will come from people with life-long attachments to the book series. Honestly, I just don’t get it. You’re watching a kid story about kids having a low-grade Scooby Doo adventure in-between just goofing during the summer. It bored my kid and that’s about my greatest litmus test for kid entertainment.
