"Shiloh." Based on the Newbery Award-winning book by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, Shiloh is an inspirational story of an adorable beagle who runs away from his neglectful owner, and is found by young Marty. He knows Shiloh belongs to someone else, but is determined to save the dog from more neglect.

"Shiloh Season," based on the children’s novel by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. Marty continues to have run-ins with the neighbor who mistreats his dog, and Marty finds himself on a problem-filled life. But Shiloh teaches Marty an extraordinary lesson when he heroically saves the life of the man who mistreated him.

"Water for Elephants," based on the bestselling novel by Sara Gruen. Against all odds, a veterinary student and a beautiful circus performer from a bygone era meet and fall in love through their shared compassion for a special elephant. But their secret romance incurs the wrath of her dangerously volatile husband.

"The Help," based on the bestselling novel by Kathryn Stockett. The Help is an inspirational, courageous, and empowering story about very different, extraordinary women in the 1960s South who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project - one that breaks society’s rules and puts them all at risk.

"Snowmen." After a surprising discovery in the snow catapults three small-town boys into the spotlight, the best friends hatch a plan to be remembered forever by setting a Guinness World Records title. Along the way, the trio battles schoolyard bullies, unites their community and discovers that, while fame may be fleeting, true friendship lasts forever.

"Turtle: The Incredible Journey." This is spectacular adventure of one loggerhead turtle’s journey from a young hatchling emerging from her nest in the sand, to a 25-year-old adult returning to the same beach to hatch her own young. It’s a remarkable story about the harrowing trek around the globe of this threatened species.

"Dolphin Tale." In this story of the bond between animals and humans, a boy named Sawyer discovers an injured dolphin, who is brought to a marine hospital and named Winter. Unfortunately, her injuries cost Winter her tail, without which she may not survive. But with the extraordinary creation of a unique prosthetic, Winter may receive a second chance at life.
