Friend has an 8 year old that’s all about the Revolutionary War and he’s looking for age appropriate videos. Any suggestions?

I remember this one from Disney when I was a boy.

Disney also did this one about Colonel Francis Marion - The Swamp Fox.

The Patriot with Mel Gibson.

...



Just kidding. That one's a bit intense in some places.

PBS did an animated children's series several years ago about the Revolutionary War, called "Liberty's Kids".

You can buy the entire 40 episode series on DVD for under $10:

Yeah... I wouldn't want my 8 year old seeing an R-rated movie.

"The Crossing", about Washington's crossing of the Delaware River, may be a better choice for a relatively modern live-action movie for a younger viewer. It's a TV movie from A&E, so the violence is tame compared to an R-rated film, though it may still be too intense/violent for an 8 year old. (It's been a while since I've seen it, and I can't recall.)

I haven't seen that one, but I wonder why Mel is so obsessed with pulling or blowing people's guts out? He ain't right, is what I think.

The History Channel trots out a mutiple-episode series every Fourth of July that's really very good. Maybe there's a way to get access to a copy.

I had seen a number of the Liberty Kids years ago and they are good.
Thanks for the reminder. Grabbed the disc for my boys.

"Liberty's Kids". Used to be on Saturday morning TV programming for years. Quite interesting.

I realize videos / movies were asked for but what about the Rush Revere book series (by Rush Limbaugh).

Supposedly really easy for kids to read and non-partisan.

When they get a little bit older and ask why WWI started, borrow the DVD 3-disc series "37 Days" from your local library.

37 Days is a British drama miniseries that was first broadcast on BBC Two from 6 to 8 March 2014. The three-part miniseries covers the 37 days before World War I , from the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria on 28 June 1914 to the United Kingdom declaring war on Germany on 4 August 1914.
