Family Triple - Because Of Winn Dixie/The Sandlot/5 Children DVD

5 Children & It:
"IT" is a Psammead (voiced by Eddie Izzard), an ancient, ugly and irritable sand fairy the children find one day in a gravel pit. It grants them a wish a day, lasting until sunset. But they soon learn it is very hard to think of really good wishes, and each one gets them into more and more trouble. Magic, the children find, can be as awkward as it is enticing. There's fun for all the family, featuring an all-star British cast including Kenneth Branagh and Zoe Wanamaker.

Because Of Winn-Dixie:
Based on the best-selling book, Because of Winn-Dixie is the heartwarming "tail" of a girl and the four-legged friend who changes her life. When a little girl named Opal and her preacher father (Jeff Daniels) move to a small southern town, she adopts a scruffy, fun-loving pooch named Winn-Dixie. The special bond between them works magic on her dad and the eccentric townspeople they meet during one unforgettable summer.

The Sandlot Kids:
It's the early 1960s and fifth-grader Scotty Smalls (Tom Guiry) has just moved into town with his folks (Karen Allen and Denis Leary). Kids call him a dork - he can't even throw a baseball! But that changes when the leader of the neighbourhood gang recruits him to play on the nearby sandlot field. It's the beginning of a magical summer of baseball, wild adventures, first kisses, and fearsome confrontations with the dreaded beast and its owner (James Earl Jones) who live behind the left field fence. Soon nine boys have become best friends, Scotty is part of a team, and their leader has become a local legend in this hilarious and warm-hearted comedy.
