| Kids of all ages will love following the Sugar Creek Gang as they venture out to solve a mystery in the "Swamp Robber". When Poetry finds a hidden disguise in the swamp, the gang investigates and discovers a map that leads them to more than just treasure. This movie is a gem-Kalon Media has done a great job capturing the heart of the book series on film. The cinematography is peaceful and colorful and the characters are earnestly portrayed. The films are very family friendly, though there is one brief scene where a husband and wife are arguing and the husband storms off in a fury, leaving his son running after him, yet the situation is handled gently. The movies seem to have a broad appeal, and my boys (ages 4 through 10) equally loved the DVD. These days, it's not easy to find a movie they can all agree upon, but they've watched it several times and never moved from their seats for the entire movie. Amazing! Whether you're a devoted reader of the Sugar Creek Gang series or never read them before, you are in for a treat. Thanks Kalon Media, for bringing to life these loveable kids from yesteryear to teach our children of today about the love of God, of loyalty to friends, and of commitment to family through wholesome, enjoyable and quality entertainment. | | |  | Swamp Robber Dec 23, 2004 |
I was able to attend the world premiere of Swamp Robber at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, GA and get a sneak peek at the completed film. This is the first movie in the Sugar Creek Gang series.
In this installment we are introduced to the entire gang: Bill Collins, Poetry, Circus, Dragonfly, Big Jim, and Little Jim. We accompany them as they discover a secret map and eventually encounter a bank robber on a late night visit to the swamp. The locations used for filming are gorgeous: from the farms to the forests, rivers, and creeks. You can tell these kids must have had a blast making the movie!
In addition to reamaining faithful to the main story, the film expands the scope of the original book. We get to see a bit of the home life that some of these kids endure, and interesting details are laid out that appear to set the stage for a much larger story arc that will be completed in subsequent films. Also, the stage is set for upcoming confrontations with the town bullies (Bob and Tom Till).
I viewed this film with an audience of a few thousand ranging from young children to senior citizens. The response was quite positive and all ages seemed to really enjoy the movie.
I have the DVD and can tell you that it is packed with special features. There is a photo gallery of the production, a behind the scenes documentary, a blooper reel, deleted scenes, and a full length audio commentary with the creators.
Fans of the books and parents looking for safe, clean, and enjoyable family entertainment -- rejoice! | | | Write your own review about Swamp Robber
