A Downton Abbey for kids

The war is almost over, and 13-year-old Tolly (Alex Ethel) returns to his family's ancestral home that he barely remembers. There, where he awaits his father’s return from the war, his grandmother reunites him with his family history. He finds he is capable of going through time to help solve and maybe create important family history mysteries. We get to go along with the attorney and kibitz along the way. The story itself is fairly transparent and the solution is predictable; however, the true value of the movie is the people interaction, the rich and intriguing environment, and possible lessons learned for all of us. This presentation is based on a children's novel, "The Chimneys of Green Knowe", by Lucy M. Boston. Julian Fellowes – Director is the Executive Producer and writer of most of the series of Downton Abbey; also, the Titanic (TV mini-series), among other series. I think I had more fun identifying the actors and where they were seen before. Many of them and even their characters turned up again in the Downton Abbey series. Many of the other actors appeared in decades of famous British movies. In any event, this presentation is a keeper and worth re-watching periodically.
