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.

Gnomeo and Juliet

Gnomeo and Juliet - Touchstone Pictures


As the title suggests, this is essentially Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" with gnomes. It beautifully expresses the idea that hatred and discrimination accomplish nothing but destruction - both physically and emotionally. It explains to kids in an easy-to-understand way that it is ridiculous to hate someone just because someone else does, or because the come from a "bad neighborhood".
Hatred, Discrimination, Judgement
