In a recent post, I introduced you to Moondance Alexander, a new movie from 20th Century Fox. I had the privilege of creating a Biblical discussion guide. It’s now available to download.
Moondance Alexander is now available to rent or purchase. Focus on the Family is promoting the film via their email news.
Enjoy:
Moondance Alexander is the story of how hope changes a girl with
no friends, a horse trainer with no clients, and a horse with no
pedigree. This new movie, distributed by Fox Faith, is inspired
by a true story.
In real life, co-producer and co-writer Janeen Damian struggled to find her place in the world. She befriended a German man who knew how to train horses. Together, they helped her pinto pony Checkers ride and jump to competition success.
This family adventure features an all-star cast, including Don Johnson, Olympic-skating silver medalist Sasha Cohen, Lori Loughlin and Kay Panabaker. Life is a rough ride for awkward, friendless, 15-year-old Moondance (Panabaker). But when a Pinto pony named Checkers leaps into her life, Moondance pursues a dream she never knew she had. Convinced that Checkers has champion potential, she enters him in the Bow Valley Classic, and in the process learns only perseverance lands you in the winner’s circle. Directed by Michael Damian, and featuring an irresistible soundtrack, Moondance Alexander is an uplifting story the whole family will enjoy.

Mark –
Love your blog.
We had the opportunity to view this over the weekend and it is great.
What I really liked about the film was how it opened a dialogue up about peer pressure, fitting in and being an awkward teen. As I have a few pre-teens in the house, it gave us some good converation afterwards.
Afterwards, we downloaded the study guide and it was really good.
Margie,
Glad you liked the movie and the study guide. I hope you’ll check out the other movies as well.

I want my daughter to watch this, I think she will learn a great deal from it. I know I did.
Very good movie – but it left me wondering what happened to the father, what happened to the horse trainer that he had no more clients and what happened in the photo of the woman Dante was looking at?
