Five Children and It

Since the boys were out of school today and tomorrow, we decided to have a special Thursday-night edition of family movie night.

We watched Five Children and It (2004, G).  From Wikipedia:

Five children are sent to the country to live with their mad uncle during the war. When there, they meet as Psammead (a sand fairy), who grants them wishes - with unexpected consequences.

I was kind of surprised that I haven't heard of this one and until we watched it and I realized it was fairly unremarkable.  I give it 3 out of 5.
