Parent Movie Reviews & Charlotte’s Web

I’ve been thinking about taking my daughter to see Charlotte’s Web this summer. So I checked out Kids In Mind, which gives details about particular movie scenes and Parentstv.org, which gives an overview and opinion of the movie and it’s message.

Given this information, I don’t think that I’ll be taking her to see Charlotte’s Web after all. She is (over)sensitive to dirtiness, rudeness, and emotional tension. So between the scenes of animals covered in goo and slop, mild rough-housing between characters, and the issue of death, this movie may be pretty troubling for her. If I thought she could benefit from the larger message about the importance of friendship and family, then I might risk it. But she’s shown herself to be so impressionable that I think she’d just be upset or confused for much of the movie. So, I think we’ll stick with the Wonder Pets for our animal-centric entertainment, LOL!

Anyway, I think these sites are great tools for helping parents decide which movies would be good experiences for their kids.

Ciao!
