Too many plot holes
25 December 2023
Little House is my all time favorite show but it was also full of plot holes through the years. This movie was no exception. Originally airing after the official series ended, this is supposed to be a Christmas movie. They got Michael Landon to narrate but couldn't get him to make an appearance? The lack of familiar characters in this one is noticeable.

But so many plot holes:

A disturbed woman kidnaps toddler Rose but she goes willingly and never throws a fit? You'd think a child who is with her stay at home mom all the time would have a different reaction instead of just smiles all the time.

Mr. Edwards never apologizes nor do Laura and Almanzo blame him for anything. Also, why is he at the saloon if he no longer drinks?

Laura should have gotten angry sooner and shouldn't have let Almanzo off so easy.

1896? Wasn't Baby Boy Wilder born in 1889? Rose should be closer to 10.

Was that adoption even legal? And why didn't Laura and Almanzo consider adopting?

Anyway, it's a Christmas movie so of course there is a happy ending. But long time fans need to suspend some belief.
