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.

Up

Up - Disney

Adjusting to life after a loved one has passed on can be quite difficult. Mr. Fredrickson does not seem to be adjusting very well when he first meets up with Russell. The old man isn't accustomed to the young boy's vibrant energy, and he initially looks upon him with irritation. His own desires are sacrificed when he steps out of his comfort zone to help Russell to protect a rare bird from poaching. He comes to feel that his own goals were petty compared to the needs of those around him that he cared about, and that helping them gave him far more satisfaction than his childhood dream.
