About Because of Winn-Dixie
A girl, abandoned by her mother when she was three, moves to a small town in Florida with her father. There, she adopts an orphaned dog she names Winn-Dixie. The bond between the girl and her special companion brings together the people in a small Florida town and heals her own troubled relationship with her father.
Directed by Wayne Wang, Because of Winn-Dixie leans on a strong ensemble — AnnaSophia Robb, Jeff Daniels, Cicely Tyson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about family titles of 2005.
