A little grittier than your typical Disney film, but feeling very familiar with other stories produced by them. I would call this one a solid double, maybe a triple if you are in the right mood. A washed-up fisherman and some desperate orphans find their stories inextricably intertwined in this based-on-a-true-story family find. Hard to find a good story that you can watch with kids. This one fits the bill and finds some nice redemption for all in the end.
