MOVIE REVIEW

Disney’s space odyssey leads to Oprah and beyond


By Michael Phillips

“You’re given the form,”
one of the celestial men-

L’Engle’s “A Wrinkle in
Time.” “But you have to

This is how L’Engle de-
scribed a free-will sort of
life, in the novel she be-
gan in 1959. She endured
26 publishing rejections,
got it into print in 1962
and saw it zoom around
the world in 35 different
languages. In its long shelf
life, “A Wrinkle in Time”
has taught millions of chil-

evils of conformity, the an-
guish of losing a parent

and the gratifying return
to the comforts of home.
