I love little house on the prairie but this movie is too far fetched, I know Charles explains it as being a unusually warm winter but when you hear loud crickets on the night they are looking for Sam (The orphaned boy who is with them while they are looking for rose who was kidnapped) it's just crazy. We have yet to have winter crickets. Also they act like they must find the boy because it's gonna get colder that night and they show a steaming hot thermos in Edwards hand and the exhaling of their breath for the scene when they find the boy but you still hear the crickets and then the rest of the scenes no more breath being seen. Oh and another flaw before they found out the boy was with them they camped out one night and you can see the boy sleeping near Edwards then the next day Edwards find's him in stowed away in the wagon. Seeing as during the whole movie one of the adults had to be in the back of the wagon since three do not fit on a seat, they would have known he was with them on the first day.. Anyways still love little house but the writers were having an off day when they came up with this plot.
