Little House on the Prairie (2005)
Member Rating:  
Narratively, the Disney-produced 2004 miniseries Little House on the Prairie retraces the footsteps of the acclaimed prime-time, nine-year TV series of the same title - albeit in a more abbreviated version. Like the 1970s series, this four-hour Disney adaptation takes as its source the beloved books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, roman-a-clefs about growing up on the rugged American frontier during the nineteenth century. It opens with the arrival of the Ingalls family in Minnesota during the 1870s - father Charles Ingalls(Cameron Bancroft), mother Caroline Ingalls (Erin Cottrell), and daughters Laura Ingalls (Kyle Chavarria) and Mary Ingalls (Danielle Ryan Churchran) - and moves ahead in time as the young girls come of age. Little House on the Prairie originally aired on ABC as episodes of The Wonderful World of Disney. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

    At first I didn't like because I was so used to the original, but as I watched it, the movie did portray some hardships that the original did not. My children really enjoyed watching this series.

    We watched both discs last night, straight through! My kids and I were enthralled til the very end. If you liked the show, you will enjoy this set. However, I was wanting to see the original Charles all the way through. The girl who plays Laura looked and acted so much like Melissa Gilbert that I didn't notice the difference. There was back to back action and my kids (boys, 8&10) were wanting to see more of the slower pace of the Ingalls' tv life. Maybe my kids are just unique, but I was feeling the same way. It was almost like it was too action-packed, but then I thought, maybe that's just prairie life when you've condensed it into a 4hr show. Maybe because of the action and adventure, it even caught my husband's attention and he's not a fan. All in all, this is a treat for fans and for those who are not fans. . .well, it's just a great movie, especially for the family.

    I had wanted to rent the Little House on the Prairie TV series for my child to watch, but accidentally got this one instead. At first I was very disappointed as it wasn't the "show" I had thought I was renting, but we decided to watch anyway. It was very entertaining and our family thoroughly enjoyed it. Sometimes, you just can't watch the same movie with different actors, but this one got you to actually like the characters (even though they weren't really the Laura and Mary that you knew from childhood!). We've only gone through disk one at this point, but we've now requested disk two and can't wait for it to arrive!
