Movie Info

Davy (Charles Miller) and Harry MacKenzie (Leo Wheatley) are orphaned brothers who live with their gruff grandfather, James (Charlton Heston), in 1900s Nova Scotia. Life for the boys is less than agreeable, until one day they find an unusual item on the beach: a baby. Determined to bring the child up on their own, away from the influence of their unpleasant grandfather, Davy and Harry make off with the infant -- which begins a desperate search by the authorities and the child's parents.

Critic Reviews for The Little Kidnappers

All Critics (3) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (3)

"The Little Kidnappers" is a beautifully photographed, unashamedly sentimental tale of conflict resolved through innocence.

While much of what happens in ``The Little Kidnappers'' is predictabl... what makes it so enjoyable are the completely unself-conscious performances by Leo Wheatley and Charles Miller, as Harry and Davy MacKenzie.

John Voorhees
Seattle Times
"The Little Kidnappers" is a little precious and a little drawn-out, but for kids who aren't so little -- pre-teens and up -- and who have a little patience, considerable satisfaction can be had by watching it.
