Classic Kids, or films the kids in your life have to see by 13 or else!
Anything with Emma Thompson is good. I
love that actress and how diligently she works to be part of films that provoke
and inspire.
Brave is such a film. Brenda Champion and Mark
Andrews directed this Pixar film with Emma Thompson the voice for Queen Elinor,
mother to a spirited and independent Princess Merida. Princess Merida
accidentally unleashes a curse upon the kingdom, but instead of waiting for
someone to fix the problem, Merida uses her bravery and archery skills to make
everything okay. From beginning to end, this movie will enchant you.
Themes: Bravery, loyalty,
consequences, family
Media literacy questions: How are
Pixar films different than more traditional cartoons? Why is Merida
different than other princesses in Disney films? What is your favorite
scene and why? What country and time period are the filmmakers trying to
convey? Is this a fairy tale, or simply a cartoon?
