Cindy and Jim Green want a baby, and can't have one. So they
write all the attributes their child would have, on little sheets of paper, put
them in a box, and bury the box in their garden. That night, a mysterious storm
comes, that only they have seen, and an equally mysterious young boy, Timothy,
shows up in their house, covered in mud. There is a hole in the garden, where
the box had been. I think this is one of the best nonPixar movies Disney has
done in years. It is magic, made powerful because you know it is magic. A
delightful movie for the whole family. The boy who played Timothy was
wonderful. He played a boy being a boy, not a mini-grownup! Warning: keep the
tissues near;-)
