The Lil' River Rats and the Adventure of the Lost Treasure

We watched Lil River Rats last weekend and it was a great movie. My kids 10 and 8 love the movie and thought it was like a movie on the Disney Channel. The boat, river and bear were all very cool and it really looked like a Hollywood movie rather than an independent film. The end of the movie was very suspenseful. There was a lot of work that went into this film and I think it was shot on location in Indiana. We saw the first movie from this filmmaker 587 The Great Train Robbery and it was excellent too. I thought the kid that had the Hal 9000 computer was pretty funny. The water balloon fight was funny too. I wonder how they controlled the helicopters to drop the balloons. The story flowed along very well and all the kids did a great job acting. The sound effects and music were also done very well and added to the movie viewing experience.
