This was a wonderful film. Four children are presented with a problem to solve. Their mother has died and they are on their way to four separate foster homes. They run away together in search of their uncle. As kids will, they make nmany wrong choices. However, they are not left without consequences. I really enjoyed the movie with its charming story. It's a good film for discussing with children how the right choice is not always the obvious choice, and that all actions have consequences.

I have four children ages 4, 5, 7, and 11. All of them LOVE this movie. It is the most-watched movie in our home. The plot is deep enough to be enjoyed by young and old alike. If you have children, you won't regret your purchase.

In this film, you will discover the joys of teaching children good values and not to give up. Finding themselves without a mother, the family of children are given many choices to make. Do they live in a state run home for children or do they look for their uncle Jack? The journey takes them over several states until they find their uncle Jack who takes the kids as his own. Thus making it clear that family does come first. Good clean family fun!!!!

I recently purchased the DVD of this movie, and they took out several scenes and replaced them with Peggy's mom narrating. The original (VHS) is soooo much better. Even the ending is funnier and more appropriate. They totally made the ending unbelievable in the DVD. It's funny to me that the two different versions would have different endings. If you are to purchase this movie, I totally recommend getting the VHS version. It's much more enjoyable (and has a much more believable ending).

I always like this movie, and recommend to anyone that hasn't seen it.

Leigh Lombardi rules in this touching family movie about four children set on their own after their mother's death facing separation by foster care They then escape, encountering adventure and danger ending in a delightful,heartfelt conclusion.It's a must see starring Leigh Lombardi,Scott Warner,Amy Alfred,Tom Dayton,Stephanie Kramer,Mike Wuergler and Donre Sampson with wonderful music scores by the Osmond Boys!!

I am really enjoying the purchase of this dvd. I grew up watching it as a child and lost the vhs a while back and when i saw that it was on amazon i jumped for joy that i was able to find it on dvd online. thanks so much for letting me purchase from you.

I remember watching this movie as a young child, I love it! I've had the VHS for years so I'm glad it's on DVD! I'd recommend it for anyone who enjoys good family films.

I never finished this movie. My brother and I took it out back and destroyed it with baseball bats after about 5 minutes of watching it. That's how bad it is.

We loved this movie as kids but re-watching it as an adult (having seen much better movies) it leaves much to be desired. There are some pretty sizeable plot holes and the acting overall is kinda cheesy.

But, it still brings back childhood memories so for that it gets an average rating.
