Trapp Ikka Monogatari (The Trapp Family Story) is a nice anime for children and people who are fans of the musical and want to relive the story in a different format. It has a couple of nice bits taken straight from the movie, without being a replica of it.

Fourty episodes were a bit much, though. 

 Nippon's adaptation of Little Women (both seasons), is the only one that truly understood the intent behind the novels. 

To show the crucial role of education in shaping a child into adulthood.
