Little Red Wagon: The Movie

What are you doing this weekend? Got any fun family plans? At some point this weekend, I'm planning to sit down and watch this video with my family.


Little Red Wagon is based on the inspirational true story of eight-year-old Zach Bonner on his quest to change the world with nothing more than his beat-up red wagon and a blazing spirit of philanthropy. When Zach sets out to help homeless children in America in the wake of Hurricane Charley, by walking from his house in Tampa, FL to the White House, he must overcome bureaucrats and blisters, and capture the hearts of his fractured family and the entire nation.

If you'd like to watch this movie with your family, leave a comment on this post as I have a copy of the dvd to give away! And if you simply can't wait, look for the movie available on dvd at Walmart!



COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR THIS POST-- APRIL FROM POLKA DOTS AND PINKY SWEARS HAS WON THE DVD! CONGRATS!

    I was crying by the time he started talking about giving away water. Tears streaming down my face when I saw the garage full. It just goes to show you that it just takes one person doing what God tells them to do for great things to happen. Rudy was a great movie... I have not seen Hoosiers... but you have to have the coldest of hearts for this not to inspire you. Having just lived through Sandy and to know what it is like for friends to have no homes anymore and for fifty houses in the next town to be washed into the sea and just gone forever and having to stand in lines waiting for water and food because we had no cash and the banks were not open or they were damaged and my husband was not working... and then I got a serious infection from contaminated water from Sandy which has had me on an IV pic line at home for weeks. If only a few people in each town would do what he did... what a miracle could be wrought even if there is no disaster. There are homeless people everywhere. I just heard on the news that in Hawaii... a place we think of as Paradise... they have more homeless than anywhere. Of course, it is a nicer place to be homeless... but homeless is homeless... they still need shelter from rain and wind and they need food and clothing and so much more. It is like Mexico where the resorts have big walls around them and just beyond the walls are "cities" where people live in boxes or tin shacks. Those are the people who work in the resorts doing the "menial labor" like cleaning and dealing with the trash. That is where they get their food... that and the city dump. Can't wait to get the movie when it is available.

    cool anonymous comment. we'd love to watch it...we're loving our clearplay DVD player, but it's even better when there's a good movie that you don't have to filter anything!

    Thanks for selecting this movie to review! I had tears streaming down my face by the bucketfuls while watching the trailer. I can only imagine what watching the entire movie might do. It seems like a wonderfully inspirational family movie.
