This movie will transport you to a magical place

Wow. Saw this movie last night in the theater with a full audience and was a magical and special experience. I will say that I did watch Reading Rainbow as a kid.. so this movie really touched me on a deep emotional level. But just as a great movie.. it delivers there as well. Even if you just value books and reading.. this movie will inspire you too. Movie was put together in a very effective way. Music was awesome, and the clips they found were just perfect. It reminds you how somethings in life are really, really special and to not forget to cherish them.. as they might not be around forever. Just a very inspirational story and movie. Of course LeVar Burton is great... but I learned alot about him, the show, and the impact it had on the world. Check it out.. and I'll see you next time!
