    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      To make sure both dogs got on well with AnnaSophia Robb, who played Opal, she was brought in early to get acquainted with the dogs and give them treats. By the time shooting started, they considered her a "safe" area.
    • Goofs
      Opal's hair length varies throughout the movie, from a short blunt cut, to a longer, and uneven cut, and then back to short.
    • Quotes

      Amanda Wilkinson: "Hell", is a cuss word.

      Miss Franny: Well, war is a cuss word, too.

    I would probably love this if I were 10
    The best thing I can say for Winn-Dixie is it is the best movie I have seen on an airplane in years, but that's more a critique of airline movies than praise for this one. It's a pretty standard kid's movie in which a lonely girl adopts a dog that results in adventures, misadventures and all sorts of friends. As I watched it, I saw lots of things that I would have thought were cool if I was a little kid, but as an adult who has seen this sort of thing many times before I really couldn't get that excited about any of it. If I hadn't been trapped on an airplane I certainly would have stopped watching, but since I stopped watching the last three movies I saw on airplanes because they were so painfully awful I have to give this one credit for keeping me mildly entertained for a while.
