Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
American pioneers were a strong-willed people ruled by wanderlust, optimism, and an intense drive to persevere and succeed in the face of incredible odds and grave danger. Based on the autobiographical novels by Laura Ingalls Wilder, this 255-minute 2004 Disney television miniseries (not the Michael Landon, Melissa Gilbert series from the 1970's) tells Laura's story of her family's dangerous and exhausting journey by covered wagon from an economically depressed Wisconsin to the promising land of Kansas. While the land proves plentiful in Kansas, the hardships of setting up a homestead and co-existing with the Indians are intense. Through their struggles, the Ingalls family comes to appreciate the true value of the help and companionship of their fellow man and realizes the relative insignificance of their many outward differences. While their neighbor Mrs. Scott and most of the rest of their American contemporaries readily stereotype the Indians as an evil race devoid of redeeming qualities, the Ingalls are more compassionate, presuming the Indian population to be comprised of both good and bad people. The Ingalls family's tolerance for the Indians allows them to peacefully co-exist on the prairie for a time and engenders a tenuous sense of respect with one influential tribe member which serves the family well. Little House on the Prairie brings the Laura Ingalls Wilder books and the westward expansion of the American pioneers to life and is recommended viewing for ages 6 and older. --Tami Horiuchi

- EXTREMELY SLOOOOWWWW - ONLY 2 DAUGHTERS
Extremely slow with about 1/2 dialogue of the original Little House series with Michael Landon. No fooling. In my opinion it would of been more entertaining to have more dialogue instead of minutes of Laura walking with leaves and having the leaves on her bare feet, or Pa driving the wagon, or the undercarriage of the wagon - with no dialogue. Show is Ma and Pa Ingalls with Laura and Mary - no Carrie or Grace. BORING especially compared to the original series. You have been warned!

- follows the book series
I grew up watching this series on TV, I had also read the books. I was always a little disappointed that the shows were not like the books. My daughter has read the books over the past year and had just finished her social studies project on Laura Ingalls Wilder when we found the Disney version in the video store. We rented it and watched it and we were both amazed. The story goes along with the books from the end of "Little House in the Big Woods" through "Little House on the Prairie". We were ... Read More

- Why do they do this???
My son and I have been reading the Little House books together and when I found that Disney made a Little House movie I decided to buy it. The music didn't fit at all and the books, themselves are full enough of thrilling stories to fill a movie. Nothing needs to be added, but of course they always do. They portrayed Laura in too much a "Girl Power" way instead of the sweet and determined girl that she was. Danielle Chuchran (Mary Ingalls and a former neighbor of mine) was not the right choice for her ... Read More

- Beautiful Cinematography/ NOT True to the Books
This DVD does have beautiful cinematography, just as some other reviews have said. The outdoor scenes are very realistic in portraying what the rugged woodlands and prairies of the late 1800's were probably like. However, many reviews have claimed that this miniseries was closer to following the events in Laura Ingalls Wilder's book series than any other television series or movie has ever been, and after watching it we were very disappointed that it does not follow the books more closely at all. If ... Read More
