Boxcar Children: Surprise Island DVD

Fathom Events and Shout! Kids are excited to bring the magic of The Boxcar Children to movie theatres nationwide for a special after-school event on Tuesday, May 8 only! One of the most-read children's book series of all time comes alive on the big screen in the Boxcar Children: Surprise Island based on the second book from the series by Gertrude Chandler, featuring the voice talents of Martin Sheen, J.K. Simmons, Griffin Cluck, Joey King, Dane DeHaan and more! The Alden children have a home with their grandfather now-but their adventures are just beginning! The fist surprise comes when they learn they'll be spending the summer on their private island. A kind stranger who lives there is always happy to help the children out, but does this new friend have a secret? This special after school event will also feature a special introduction and an exclusive short program with producer/director Dan Chuba about how the adaptation of a book to movie works and the process of animating!
