This film stars Jeff Daniels, Cicely Tyson, Dave Matthews, Eva Marie Saint, and Annasophia Robb. Extras include audio commentary and more. Newcomer AnnaSophia Robb is adorable as India Opal Buloni in Wayne Wang's heartwarming family comedy BECAUSE OF WINN-DIXIE, based on the bestselling novel by Kate DiCamillo. A smart, resourceful young girl, Opal thinks "people forgot how to share the joy." She's tired of moving from small town to small town with her father (Jeff Daniels), a preacher at the Open Arms Baptist Church; she just wants to find a home and stop being lonely. One night she wishes for a best friend, and that companion arrives in the form of a magical, trouble-causing dog she comes upon in a Winn-Dixie supermarket. She names the dog Winn-Dixie, and they become inseparable, making friends with many of the town's most unusual, quirky characters, including gruff and scruffy Otis (singer-songwriter Dave Matthews), who carries around his guitar and works at the rather unique Gertrude's Pet Shop. Academy Award winners Eva Marie Saint (as Miss Franny the librarian) and Cicely Tyson (as the mysteriously daffy but charming Gloria Dump) provide excellent support as well. Among the musicians on the infectious pop soundtrack are Emmylou Harris, Shawn Colvin, the Beu Sisters, the Finn Brothers, and Leigh Nash, whose "I've Gotta See You Smile" will make audiences do just that. With BECAUSE OF WINN-DIXIE, Hong Kong-born Wang continues his successful transition to English-language family films following such acclaimed early Chinese works as CHAN IS MISSING, DIM SUM, and EAT A BOWL OF TEA. Theatrical Release: February 18, 2005

Because Of Winn-Dixie Movie Review Average Rating: (3 out of 5 stars)   Good family flick
This looks like it might be a real corny movie, but it actually has some real funny parts! The dog looked like he could really smile. The little girl reminded me alot of Dakota Fanning. If you're looking for a movie for the whole family to watch, get this one, you'll enjoy it.

 I'm in pain Because of Win Dixie
Now, this is a nice family film that kids could watch. However, the movie has no villians, or heroes, well maybe the dog. It just has no problems and it's too simple. I can't really give this movie a 3 so that's why it's a 2 star.

 Wonderful Family Story
A very heartwarming family story. AnnaSophia Robb, who also starred in "Bridge to Terabithia," is a delight. This talented young girl has a long career ahead of her. A story about friendship, love and positive attitudes presented in a very realistic, but not simplistic manner with a touch of humor throughout. You will enjoy every minute of it.

I LOVE this movie!!!
I know that I have a soft heart but I really have to say that this is a wonderful movie!!! It's funny, it's sad sometimes, but it's so worth seeing it! I read the book and this movie does it justice. It's a children's movie but if you are looking for something a bit
light-hearted, cute, and funny, give this movie a try...It won't disappoint you.
P.S. If you like Dave Mathews of The Dave Mathews Band, he's in this movie!

Co-helmed by WALL-E director Andrew Stanton, FINDING NEMO follows Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks), an overprotective clown fish father, as he desperately searches the farthest reaches of the sea for his missing son Nemo. Marlin's journey leads him beyond the Great Barrier Reef into deeper and darker waters, where he meets Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), a forgetful yet optimistic blue tang, and a number of not-so-friendly--and often very hungry--aquatic creatures. Meanwhile, little Nemo finds himself in a dentist's fish tank in Syndey, Australia, along with other underwater captives, including Gill (Willem Dafoe), the group's scarred Moorish idol leader. As Nemo works with his new friends on a plan to escape their tank, Marlin and Dory swim closer, but they'll need more than just fins to get into the dentist's office.
This fifth computer-animated outing by Pixar continues the company's remarkable winning streak that began with TOY STORY. Like other Pixar films, FINDING NEMO features a story with heart--this time, a father-and-son tale--and thoroughly charming leads--in this case, Marlin, Nemo, and Dory. And, of course, there's ...
