Cultivate good habits in your kid through movies


Moving pictures has always been catchy for children.  They tend to carve their behavior by looking and acting like the iconic hero which they start to be lenient with. They might like the dress, the catchy dialogue, or the visual presentation of the hero or a villain neglecting the motive each character is made of. It’s become very important for parents to select what they are feeding in their kid absorbing mind. Here are the 6 inspirational Hollywood films which you should show to your kids.

For Number One I have the movie “Antz” a movie that shows us to work as a team. It shows however small part we may have what matter most is the team outcome of that small-small effort we all put to make things happen. It shows never ever to give up the dream, never ever accept failure and to the most never stand low to a friend call when he/she in need. The cinematography has been brilliant cascading each shade of lives of an ant. Woody Allen, Sharon Stone, Jennifer Lopez, Sylvester Stallone, Dan Aykroyd, Anne Bancroft, Gene Hackman, Christopher Walken, and Danny Glover bring this movie more near to our realistic world by putting their known voices to respective characters. An ant that never is known by its size but by its colony, never by the muscles but by the weight it can pull over, the togetherness they have, the most the UNITY.

Next on the list would be Forest Gump. A story of boy who threw away the metals wrapping his leg to walk for the run that he was so determined to run. It’s a story of a person who stand for friends, has a strong will power and may whatever the circumstances be, he never throw his life for chance but makes the best out of it. The director has done a wonderful job in making the story. This story will make your kid self confident one to stand up to any challenges this world has kept for him/her.

Next in my list at number three is the movie Dumbo. A storyline written by Helen will give your child wings to imagine without any boundaries. He doesn’t have to be logical every time. He has to learn that it’s the illogical dreams that carve the innovation. He has to understand that its’ not the physical appearance rather it’s the mental strength one has to accept things as it is and bring out the best out of it. He has to learn to put faith in herself/himself and to the parents as they will be the one who will take the first blow from whatever until the kid has grown up to take one on one.


At number four in my list stands the movie is the “Lion King” an American animated musical adventure film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The movie will show your kids the importance of having friends in one’s life to share, to grow, and to enjoy the life. The mantra of “Hakuna Mataataa” has to come up from timon and pumba in their super way.

 “Finding Nemo” written and directed by Andrew Stanton, produced by Pixar Animation Studios, and released by Walt Disney Pictures is at number 5 in my list. As a parent we are always caring about our kid but sometimes it’s not helpful for our kid growth. You can teach her/him to put faith on family that they will be there for them in whatever the circumstances would be. It’s about telling them how to overcome their fear by trying things, failing and bounce back again for the try. It’s about trusting kids that the things that they are telling. He may be speaking insane but it’s our duty as a parent to be a good listener. The movie is about a small clownfish nemo who is been overprotected by his father Marlin. The son is been abducted and Marlin swims miles to find his son. The journey is full of drama, comedy and discoveries. A must watch for all.

For my sixth position selection the movie that qualified is the “Toy Story” which is also the first ever movie made entirely with CGI. Author director John Lasseter brings out the best of the characters in the movie and with voices of Tom Hanks and Tim Allen movie becomes an enormous hit. The movie portrays the emotions of the toys and their possessiveness towards their master. How beautifully the emotions like friendship, togetherness, leadership, possessiveness, love, care and so much has bubbled in this movie.
These movies are what your child will easily co-relate her/him to and cultivate themselves with the character of their heroes. If we help them a little with selection they will surely be perceiving things much faster we ever imagine. We can only say oh they grew so fast as time will fly but if we feed them right with what they learn and interact; they sure will turn up great in all manner. Do show them these movies for a beautiful future and a hell lot of entertainment.
