Blast Off submitted by clayton on February 1, 2008, 11:00am This film was a pleasant surprise and after watching it, I decided to share with my family. The center of attention is a large rocket in Charlie Farmers barn. It could have been just about anything, but in this story a rocket is the dream of the Farmer family. A nice tale about not giving up on your dream no matter how crazy it may seem to everyone else.This is a good lesson to teach any child or adult, because what are we without our dreams.The Polish brothers deliver a family positive film. Enjoy
