About This Blog

Aside from the obviously educational media that teaches children things like math, science and reading, what does a child learn when they go out and watch a movie, or see a video at home? There are so many clever films out there that teach kids morals and socialization skills, but these aspects of a movie are rarely discussed in movie reviews. This blog makes it easier to decide which movies would best benefit a particular child, depending on what issues are affecting them. If you know, in advance, about the topic covered in the film, then you can be better prepared to talk to the child.

You can search movies by title, producer, or even subject matter.

Anastasia

Anastasia - Fox Studios
.




Although this is a wonderful movie that is inspired by the true story of the Russian Princess Anastasia, it should be pointed out that it is NOT the actual story. There has always been a great deal of speculation about what really happened to her, but no one knows for sure. However, the film does give a slight and whimsical introduction of the old communist Russia. It helps to give a little insight into the personal journeys of families torn apart due to political atrocities, but in a soft platform suitable for children. Their is a slightly graphic scene at the end when the bad guy (Rasputin) is magically dissolved into a skeleton, and then into dust, but is otherwise a delightful Broadway-musical like romp.
