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.

Box Trolls

Box Trolls - Focus Features/NBC Universal





Based on the book, "Here Be Monsters" by Alan Snow, this tale of the boy who was raised by Box Trolls is a wonderful exploration into human nature. The town under which the Box Trolls live is obsessed with prestige, which is shown by wearing a special white hat, and tasting cheese. The Box Trolls, on the other hand, live happily with what they find on the streets at night, and wear boxes for clothes. The Box Troll boy, Eggs, says it best: "Cheese, hats, boxes.. They don't make you." You are the only one who can decide what type of person you are, and bending to the type of person that others think you should be can turn into quite a mess. The town also learns that you can't judge someone based on rumors you have heard.
