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.

Tarzan

Tarzan - Disney

Not every family is the stereotypical mom, dad, and 2.5 kids. Many adoptive children have difficulties growing up in a family where they feel out of place - they don't look like other members of their family. Tarzan's mother may not look like him, but she loves him fiercely, and he learns that love and respect are more important than looking alike. After all, the humans who come to his jungle (except for Jane and her father, of course) look more like him, but they only want to hurt him and his family for their own gain. On the opposite side of the coin, Jane and her family reject going back to the "civilized" world from which they came, in order to remain with their newly acquired family.
