Family movie recommendation

We recently watched Kit Kittredge, An American Girl and were surprisingly impressed! I know there's an "American Girl" doll collection that's a craze for many young girls, but this movie instead of being a sales scheme for more dolls is a well-acted, well thought out story with moral depth. It takes place in the Depression era and gently addresses issues of racism and xenophobia through the eyes of a young would-be reporter. If my Canadian relatives can get past the movie's unfortunate title, they'll find a great family movie inside. Some younger kids (like Jordan) may need reassurance about some of the sadder parts near the beginning of the movie, involving people losing their homes to foreclosure and Dad's having to travel far away to find work.
