Step 5: Watch a New Kids' Movie


 Kids' movies are the best! Especially some of the newest ones (*cough*howtotrainyourdragon*cough*). But seriously, some of the newer kid movies (just like the awesome ones we used to watch when we were kids ourselves) have really great stories, characters, and artwork in them. And the best ones have great messages behind them.

Sometimes as adults, we forget these messages - valuing our friends, believing in ourselves, doing the right thing even when it's hard. Somewhere along the way, we stop believing in the magic that makes it possible for us to believe in these messages taught to us by the Disney classics.

Sure, we can always go back and watch The Fox and the Hound, Pocahontas, and any number of our childhood favorites safely in the privacy of our own homes. We can re-live that childhood magic for 90 minutes and then pop back in to the adult world. But that's the magic from the past. As adults, we need to see some magic from the present to remind us that there's still a chance for good to win in today's world.

And as silly as you'll feel being one of the oldest people in that theater, you'll feel ten times happier knowing that you didn't care what others thought while you enjoyed a really good dang movie!

So, my question to you: What's your favorite recent kids' film?
And my challenge to you: If you haven't seen a good children's film recently, go see one! I recommend any pictured here (*cough*howtotrainyourdragon*cough*).

>>Note: I love talking about movies and books and television shows, so I may or may not create a new page where I talk about the stories that I've recently read or watched. I just put up the new page with the animals, though, so I'm not sure yet about this page. Keep an eye out! :)
