Movie Review: WONDERFUL STORY!

I purchased this movie after my son had read the book it was based on "Sign of the Beaver" for his English class. It did have some differences but was very good. I would reccommend this as a nice family movie to watch.

Movie Review: Dud

Movie Review: Enjoyable Movie
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great movie to see how times were not easy for the people back then. My children & I enjoyed this movie.

Movie Review: A good family movie
Summary: 5 Stars

Keeping the Promise is a movie based on the children's novel, Sign of the Beaver, by Elizabeth George Speare. I'm a teacher, so I have my students read the book, then we watch the movie and compare the two. It is a good family movie with a positive message. My students enjoy watching it every year!

Movie Review: I loved it
Summary: 4 Stars

What I loved about this book is that there are so many details so you know what you are reading. You can really visualize the story and have so many adventures reading this exciting new book.

Summary of Sign of the Beaver [VHS]

Keith Carradine and Annette O'Toole star in this historical family drama adapted from the Newbery Honor novel, The Sign of the Beaver, by Elizabeth George Speare. It's 1768, and a colonial family is seeking a new life in the wilderness of Maine. The father must reluctantly leave 13-year-old Matt alone in the wilderness to hold the land claim until he can return with the rest of the family. When the family is detained for months by a deadly epidemic, Matt's chances of survival become slimmer and slimmer. He is saved by the Penobscot Indians, who teach him survival skills and lessons of trust and friendship. An excellent cast, fine script, and gripping story make this an ideal film for the whole family. It can also spark discussions about the values of loyalty, life in colonial times, and the Indians' forced evacuation of their lands. Alternate video title: The Sign of the Beaver. --Elisabeth Keating
