Movie Reviews of Lost in the Woods: The Movie
Movie Review: A delight to eye and ear for children of all ages!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie has just been released (December 2005) and is based on the children's book by the same name by Carl R Sams II and his wife, Jean Stoick. Lost in the Woods, the book, was the winner of the 2005 Best Children's Picture Book Awards - Independent Publishers & USA Book News and the 2005 Director's Choice Award - Early Childhood NEWS. As I stated in my review of the book on January 3, three generations of my family members watched the movie after receiving it as a Christmas gift (already had the book), and all enjoyed it thoroughly. If you have any child left in you as an adult, you will smile and laugh along with the children.
The storyline has to do with the arrival of spring and new life in a woodland and its surrounding meadow. Leaves on the trees suddenly burst forth in refreshing greens, flowers bloom, and animal babies arrive, each wondering when will be their time to roam or fly freely about the world into which they were born. Several of the young wonder about a newborn fawn that appears to have been left alone by its mother, not understanding, of course, that there's a very good reason for this. The fawn believes Mother will return, as she certainly does. The story is told by Shirley the box turtle to Fernando Hernadofandavez, a most comical young raccoon who is looking for his brother, Hernando. He's a stitch!
The movie, as much and maybe more than the book because of the voices and the sounds, is a true learning experience for young children. They learn about animal young and their respective environments, the sounds they make, and how they learn what they were born to do and when the right time comes for them to do it. (We got a kick out of the tadpole who wanted to become a standup comic, but had yet to grow the legs he needed to stand on (chuckle).)Also on the DVD is a sound identification game to be played after viewing the movie and a segment on the making of the film.
There are many enchanting moments in this film written, produced, and directed by the very talented team of Robert and Laura Sams, brother and sister and cousins of photographer Carl Sams. What a family!
