Movies: The Boxcar Children

Shout! Factory and Legacy Classics "have entered into a long-term production and distribution partnership for a slate of new family movies based on several classic and contemporary children's book series, which will begin with The Boxcar Children," Deadline reported, adding that the plan is to produce a minimum of four feature-length movies over the first two years, beginning with three new animated features adapted from several Boxcar titles.

The 75th anniversary of the publication of Gertrude Chandler Warner's first book in the series, The Boxcar Children, will be celebrated in 2017. Shout! Factory and Legacy Classics are working closely with publisher Albert Whitman & Company to have the initial film ready by then.
