For the longest time, Thomas didn't watch T.V. It's not that it wasn't on, it was simply that he wasn't interested in it. The shift happened a couple of months ago. He's still not interested in most things, which is good since we have to cut down on T.V. consumption.
1. Home
I've mentioned this movie before. One of my students convinced me to give it a try even though it looked completely inane. It's actually quite fun and has a lot of peppy dance music which Thomas likes bopping around to.
2. Tale of Despereaux
A cute fairy tale about a brave mouse and a rat and a princess. It's a pretty improbable story that somehow all works together. It's a little slow in areas but the animation style is engaging and it has an unbelievable voice cast.
3. Big Hero 6
A futuristic animation about a boy-genius, Hiro, who is goaded into applying for a robotics program by his brother Tadashi. Tadashi is also into robotics and has built a large soft inflated medical robot named Baymax. I like this one for the way it handles depression and grieving.
4. How to Train Your Dragon 1 & 2
I just like anything with dragons. However, these two movies are inventive and fun. There's a great romantic scene in the second one between an older couple that makes Ryan mist up every time.
5. The Emperor's New Groove
This is not a good movie, it's more a guilty pleasure. What I like about it, is that it doesn't take itself seriously and plays with a lot of the Disney archetypes. And it has llamas. I like llamas
Didn't you eat llama in Peru?
ReplyDeleteI think the only camelid I've eaten is alpaca, pretty close though. Tasty too.
