About For Better or for Worse: A Storm in April
Elly thinks she can handle bringing April to work with her, but the library has never before seen such destruction. April is very different from the other Patterson kids: the characters look back at Elly’s pregnancy and the circumstances around April’s birth,during a freak winter storm in the early hours of April 1st. Now that the older kids don't need them as much, John and Elly realize that, even though April is a handful, she’ll still grow up way too fast.
Directed by Lynn Johnston, Lee Williams, For Better or for Worse: A Storm in April leans on a strong ensemble — Abby Hagyard, Terrence Scammell, Vik Sahay — 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 animation titles of 1996.
