Laura Ingalls Wilder: The Movie

Wow. We’ve all known this nebulous “Laura Ingalls Wilder documentary” was in the works by Dean Butler. We’d seen his earlier project on Almanzo’s life, Almanzo Wilder: Life Before Laura. It’s not that easy to please the hardcore fans. As a fan so hardcore that I’ve published 16 newsletters about her and plan to spend a weekend in Minnesota celebrating her, I’d like to direct you someplace.

This website.

Got 15 minutes to kill? If you don’t, find them. Then sit back, get comfortable and watch the first trailer. Then the second trailer. Then comes the unexpected treat: the behind-the-scenes look at making the documentary. Full title: The Legacy of Laura Ingalls Wilder.

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t tear up once twice a few times while watching these videos. But I’m not going to be all public about that, because, well, you know.

It’s not easy being a Laura Ingalls Wilder fan in a Lindsay Lohan world.

    Loved the trailers.

    I am just blown away to discover there are other people who still love Little House. All this time I thought it was just me!

    Looks interesting! Any word on a release date? We’d love to screen it here in Pepin, WI.

    I read your article in Disney’s Family Fun magazine and just had to come check out this site. I read (and re-read) these books many times through the years. Can’t wait to check out the documentary!

    I am so excited to check out the documentary. I really love LIW. I am just glad that people are concerned with what is wholesome and decent in todays society, so thank you for taking time to make these videos. I can’t wait to have them in my possession.
