Good Movies for Kids

It has been a rather long time since I have last posted. Today I came across two different web pages that had valuable links for educational videos that I wanted to curate for a future date. I often find myself in search of good media to share with my kids, and despite many mental bookmarks, often succumb to their latest fascination rather than remember the things I later wished I had watched with them.

In an effort to be more intentional in our shared media time, I want to make note of good suggestions I come across on the internet and in real life. Here the ones that sparked my interest in posting today:

This post speaks to the crazy that is Disney and suggests some alternative flicks to watch with your kids. The genderism in Disney has long made it a movie-non-grata in this house, but I have yet to watch all of these alternatives. Miyazaki, of course, is fantastic. We loved the Book of Kells, as well. But the others are on our 'To Watch' list, hence the mention here.  Enjoy!

Another guy put together something called Netflix Academy, where he is curating movies available streaming on Netflix. He is cataloging these movies into different areas, such as Science and History. It looks like a great resource for movies worth watching.
