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.

The Lego Movie

The Lego Movie - Warner Brothers

Legos have been fascinating children for generations. Many people are very serious about following the instructions to make structures that look exactly as designed. There are also those, however, who prefer to step away from the instructions to create objects from their own imaginations. The Lego Movie's hero, Emmett, artfully lets kids see that there is a time and place for both types of building. Sometimes, it's best to follow the rules and work as a team. But other times, problem solving required the creative use of our minds. These creative talents should definitely be encouraged to grow. But Emmett learns another lesson as well: what you really need to succeed is to simply believe in yourself. Your world doesn't need to be absolutely perfect, as long as you are true to yourself.
Feeling special, fitting in, creativity
