The Sugar Creek Gang - 5 Disc Set

My daughter loved the first 5 books in the Sugar Creek Gang series, and we got this movie for my son's birthday. It is a good family film, and all of my children, ages 9, 8, and 5, have loved it. The film introduces the homelife of Dragonfly and Circus (why did they feel the need to make Circus a girl?), and maintains a lot of the innocence of the books. That being said, however, they also took out most of the Biblical truths, and references to the Gang's Christian walk that were so wonderful in the books. This was very disappointing, and makes it a watered down version of the original. The acting wasn't fantastic, but this seems to only bother me, not my kids.

These are great movies and I would recommend these for grandparents and parents to get as gifts! We've had sleep overs and every time, the kids pick The Sugar Creek Gang. They are entertaining and funny even for us adults. *There aren't too many videos out there anymore that offer something positive and of moral value. Even your teenagers will be interested to know what happens next in The Sugar Creek Gang. *These are a must have to your video library.

I would recommend this set for kids through 8th grade! Boys and girls will enjoy the adventures of the Sugar Creek Gang, who learn life lessons and develop good character traits under the guidance of caring parents. I found these films far from sappy and my 12 year old, who has watched some more than once, has never felt like the flicks were more than great fun to watch on a blustery winter day. And even Dads will enjoy sitting a spell with the family.

Our grandsons/granddaughter watched the video's over and over for days, never tiring. Our 9 year old grandson that has a "movie" collection asked if we could buy him a set for his "personal" collection. Our 3 yr. old INSISTS on taking one or two to his babysitter every day and the babysitters daughter has not missed an episode of our set! Excellent character building storys. The books are our next purchase.

It came in the original packaging and had never been opened, so it was new. After reviewing, found they were in mint condition. The price was just great. Minimal shipping to Canada if ask them to send it to UPS terminal or hub closest to you, if you are close to border like me. As a church librarian, I am confident the junior children will enjoy the five videos in the set.Greatly pleased

The Sugar Creek Gang - 5 Disc Set is very much enjoyed by this family. the stories are simple and old fashion enough to be a classic as were the books. The lessons illustrated in the movies teach very important lessons about life and it conflicts. Each one leaves this family ready and willing to watch the next show, but we save it til next week. ;)

I had given my 8 year old granddaughter the first of the book series last year and she loved them. Then I discovered the DVD set and our 13 year old grandson and the whole family thought they were great!! They had time in between basketball games at a tournament and watched 3 the first day! Now they are hooked!

My grandkids really liked this series. Very entertaining, and always with a strong biblical message. The only negative would be tat it dragged a bit in places - but overall very good!

Not true to the book series. Characters have been changed and the good Christian message of the books has been watered down and mostly deleted

Excellent quality and shipped in a timely manner!
