The other weekend JJ and I went to the cinema whilst the girls
were at a cubs event with dh. The choice of film was JJ's and we saw
Tomorrowland, a Disney movie about Casey, an inquisitive teen who is passionate
about all things science. The film sees her on a journey to find Tomorrowland
(certificate PG) and unearth it's secrets, helped by former boy-genius Frank
(George Clooney) and android Athena. I didn't find it the most riveting film
but I did really like the questions it raised about positively and what a
difference it makes when you do not give up hope and always seek a brighter
future. I tried to have this conversation with JJ and he told me in no
uncertain terms that 'Dad is more fun to go to the cinema with as he just
enjoys the film rather than pulling it apart'.
This did get me thinking about how many great films are out there
that have messages that we hope our children will embrace, so I had a search on
Netflix and asked some blogger friends what they would recommend as an
inspiring watch for their kids.
