Fern Gully -- Great for kids

Advantages: Positive message about saving rain forests
Disadvantages: Scary monster may be intense for very young children

My two kids (between ages of 4 and 9) loved this animated movie and would watch it over and over. It has lively music, an appealing story line about a fairy rebelling against the status quo, but then learning the important lesson of protecting her home and loved ones. It has a lot of magic (duh, fairies), but the fruit bat (played by Robin Williams) provides one of the best manic Robin Williams comedy routines around. This may not be adivsable for ...
...evil character who comes very close to killing all the very likeable main characters. He is truly demonic in his characterization. Lots of loud, frightening scenes at the end which would definitely have frightened my son if he watched when he was 2 or 3. However, for kids between 5 and 10, I recommend this movie highly. My kids loved it and I think your kids would love it, too. ...

Ok so its a rainy day, your children are getting tired and you just want them to be quiet..What do you do? Is 'Spider ...
...child there same age likes spider and see's them as a friend rather than something you point and scream at. Most children, when they see a spider, will run away from a spider and be extreamlly scared of something that isnt that scary! Another good reason about this dvd is that its an animation. This can always be a good thing because if a child gets scared of something that they see on the dvd, you can always tell them ''its only a cartoon, it isnt ...
