Just a short side note tonight....I don't usually give movie reviews, but I have to tell everyone I know with little children about a movie we watched this weekend with our girl. It's called Arctic Tale, let me say first of all it is shameless propaganda about global warming, but with the entire world trying to go green and educate children on the subject it's totally appropriate! Not to mention it's done in such a cute and fun way. It's a story that follows a baby polar bear and a baby walrus through 8 yrs, but amazingly enough it only take about an hour and a half. There are some touchy issues, death, killing, reproduction. These issues are handled with kids gloves on. There are no graphic scenes and with the use of music and beautiful scenery you could easily avoid some of these issues all together. Or you could use them as a conversation starter. The most obvious of these is death it is shown in more detail than any other adult subject and still is handled and shown with total discretion. The movie is narrated by Queen Latifah, who I love, and is visually amazing. I totally suggest all parents with small and older children check it out, it really was fun had by all of us! Happy movie watching!
