    Great Memories
    `The Electric Grandmother' is a movie I remember seeing over 15 years ago! My sister and loved Maureen Stapleton as 'Grandmother' in this classic tale of a magical, ageless grandmother whose warmth transforms a skeptical little girl and brings love into a motherless home.

    The humor and futuristic touches make this movie a must have for families. This is a quality movie for any child, young or old, that presents a heartwarming tale of love, friendship, and hope.
