The youngest of five children, Jacob is nicknamed Two-Two because he sometimes has to say things twice just to be heard! Small for his age, Jacob nonetheless has a big heart and a heaping helping of determination. When Jacob accidentally breaks brother Daniel's favorite record, he wishes he could have the fateful moment to live over again. Thanks to a top secret device compliments of X. Barnaby Dinglebat, Jacob gets his second chance.

KIDS FIRST ENDORSED

This title is in the KIDS FIRST! Film Festival - it may not be a regular, endorsed title
ADVENTURES OF FOOD BOY, THE
COLD SPARK FILMS
Series: INDEPENDENT FEATURE, AGES 8-12
Description - A comedy about a teenage boy (Ezra) who inadvertently discovers that he has the power to make food appear in his hands. Ezra must ultimately choose either to embrace his unexpected but extraordinary talent or to return to his original life plan. Starring Lucas Grabeel, Brittany Curran, Kunal Sharma, Ryne Sanborn, Noah Bastian and McCall Clark.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - Offbeat and entertaining. Well produced. Original premise leads to unexpected situations. Interesting story, based on a "gift" that the boy had to learn to use. His learning is intriguing and the effects of the gift are funny. The setting is a high school and included events typical for high schoolers. The story flows well and there are lots of details to the "gift" the boy had to learn to control. As you're watching it, you wonder where it's going and willing go along. Even an interaction with a bully is handled through non-violent response. There is no profanity or negative topics. The boy is always late for class and, as a result the teacher is awful to him. All the adults are a bit over-played and stereotyped. You can appreciate that the creators paid attention to keeping inappropriate language and topics out as there are plenty of opportunities to include if they so chose. Excellent production values, acting, sets and costumes. Besides, it is darn good entertainment. If high school isn't difficult enough, Ezra Chase (Lucas Grabeel) must cope with the fact that food, in many forms, appears in his hands. While useful during school food fights, Ezra must deal with this strange talent at the time most kids are concerned with fitting in and college acceptance. The film is fun and moves well, just watch out for all the flying food!
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - Younger kids enjoyed the food theme and the boy's ability to retaliate with throwing food at people. Older kids thought it was funny although a bit corny. Overall response from kids: "Interesting story." They enjoyed watching it even though it was "weird" and completely unbelievable. Favorite part: food fight! Kids thought the teacher was mean and spiteful, especially when he belittled the boy for being late to class. They really enjoyed the food fight scenes and the parts when the food boy got his time to shine. All the kids found the premise of being able to make food at will interesting and appealing but unbelievable.

As Patrick stands awkwardly silent in front of his class, he begins to feel nervous in his stomach. Seeing his discomfort, Miss Hansen sends him to the school nurse who shows Patrick an x-ray revealing a group of butterflies in his stomach. Patrick tries to figure out how to make the butterflies leave, to the confusion of his parents who find Patrick sticking his face onto the end of a leaf-vac. Later, at an amusement park with his mother, Patrick must confront the butterflies as he finds himself terrified on a rickety old roller coaster, all the while knowing that show and tell is coming again tomorrow.

GENIUS PRODUCTS Click to purchase directly from the producer
Series: DOCUMENTARY, AGES 8-12
Description - Just like any pet owner, Jane Goodall believes that all animals can talk — it's just that we don't always understand what they're saying. When Animals Talk recounts the amazing stories of animals that have changed the lives of the people they've touched. We witness how animals can learn our language and find unique human-animal partnerships that make the world a better place. We also will discover how we humans can learn the languages of animals through science. We will listen in on the "conversations" that can take place between animals and humans, and the amazing results that these mutual comprehensions can yield. Dr Goodall's message is that communicating with animals brings humankind closer to another world, and that such liaisons can bring about unexpected benefits to both.
