It's not finishing school or a traditional
upbringing that causes ten-year-old Opal to learn about the world outside
of her own backyard, but rather a particularly awkward-looking mutt named
Winn-Dixie. Based on a novel by Kate DiCamillo, Winn-Dixie and Opal not
only become privy to the eventful, if eccentric, lives of their neighbors
(including a librarian who fought off a bear with nothing but a novel,
a blind woman who claims to "see" with her heart, and a sensitive ex-con
turned pet store clerk), but Opal herself manages to reconcile some of
the depression left over after her mother had abandoned the family seven
years earlier. -
