Good Movie! I don't know why people think kids won't understand it!

Rating: 9/10 (23 June 2015)

When I first seen the previews for this movie I did not want to see it, but I'm glad that I did. This has been one of the best animated movies that I have seen in a while. Contrary to what some reviews say, I believe that this movie is perfectly suitable for younger kids. People underestimate what kids can understand. I am a Pre-K teacher (teaching 3-4 year olds and some 5), and they understand that they have emotions and that their emotions make them feel different ways. In fact discussing emotions is one of the first lessons that we talk about, and almost everyday we talk about how each other is feeling for any particular day and how its okay for us to have emotions. Sure there where some parts in the movie that might be a little to complex for them to understand, but in reality when kids watch movies they hardly ever understand everything in the movie. For example, we watch The Lorax for a movie day at school, and I had to explain to the kids at the end about recycling and taking care of the earth why it's important and how it helps the earth, because most of them came away with a different understanding. But that's part of growing up and maturing, I can watch movies now that I watched when I was younger and get a completely different understand, because I know more now and I understand more. I don't think the previews did this movie justice at all. There where some depressing parts (I even teared up some), but the movie had a wonderful plot and story line. I would recommend this movie to anyone.
