You know, 2 decades ago, this would have looked pretty okay.

I haven't really read the books at all as a kid. But this feels like it should've been a live action adaption rather than some animation that fits more into a Nintendo game from the early 2000s

[rayagranum]

I loved the original movie and I couldn't be happier they have the same voices. I can't wait!

1:15 This looks like gameplay from a mid-2000's licensed game based off the Boxcar Children.

So Grandpa just deserts them on an island with no shoes or change of clothes for three months? WTF old man?

0:47 they sure put a lot of work into this scene

[AlexBabbage]

The animation in this looks like it came from a cut scene from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

It's amazing what they can do with wooden puppets these days.

[ThatJohnnyGuyyy]

Ehhh no. Just no. I read the books, they deserve live action adaptations, this is too watered down compared to what the books actually are.

IVE BEEN A FAN OF THIS STORY OF THE BOXCAR CHILDREN SINCE A CHILD... I THINK I HAVE READ ALL THE EPISODES OF THEIR STORY

[grapekun]

Dane DeHaan sent me here.

but tbh it's looks shitty, it would be better if they do an live action

[pejmanbehbahani]

upgrade your windows, stop making animations with MS Paint in 2018 already!

[Leahweahbeah]

I loved this book when I was little but would be so much better if it was live action or at least didn’t have the same animation as a video game in 2001

[POLE]

Wow. This looks awful.

It looks like it should've been released 15 years ago.

[chibikim]

If theyre swimming in water, why arent they wet?

[naschaosjxf]

Well I love the boxcar children book series so this was a big surprise. I haven’t read one of these books in years. I like that’s it’s getting an adaptation but I wish it was a different book from the series. I feel this would of been way better if it was live action more than animated. I personally don’t like the animation style. I’ll give this film a chance though.

[Bunni-Bella]

I get that the stories deserve greater portrayals but I'm still hype. :)

[Ari_Artz]

The sad thing is the original movie looks better then this...

[DreamLegos]

Hey Guys. You guys have to stop insulting the Animation of "The Boxcar Children Surprise Island". I saw it in theaters and it was so awesome!! You have to love the animation and the movie so trust me! The actors were amazing in this movie. Jk Simmons and Martin Sheen nailed it in that movie. Since this is becoming an animated movie series. As more as the other adaptions come out as movies. the animation will be more awesome. I'm sorry about my rant. Have a nice day and please see this movie after seeing the first one.
