Anime Movies - Magic Tree House

Annie the tomboy and Jack the awkward glasses book worm type. Those two got themselves into an adventure they never ever even dreamed of. It was a nice history lesson in there as well. Great movie for the kids. They're probably gonna like this move a lot.

When on an adventure, you're bound to get yourself into all sorts of trouble. There's just no avoiding that part. Annie and Jack experienced that first hand. They were lucky because they got to see things and places they would never have a chance seeing if they didn't stumble upon that magic tree house.

From dinosaurs to knights and castles to the Roman Empire and Pompeii to Tresure Island and pirates to normal everyday life. Jack was finally able to come out of his cacoon and try new things in life. The adventuring helped him find courage and venture more boldly into the world. Well, not that he didn't have a personal crisis about his lack of strength to help others. You can never save everyone, but you can at least try . When push came to shove, he pulled himself together and did all he could.

If you have kids don't miss a chance to watch this movie. It's fun, interesting and will most likely glue your kids to the screen for full 105 minutes.  To be honest it's pretty good for adults as well. The story is really well made, animation is nice and it sends out a positive message to the kids, what more could you want.
