Play with These Cool Movies! THEME!!!!!!!!!

Money Can't Buy Happiness

Example: Aladdin Movie Aladdin thought that being rich would solve all his problems and give him all the things he desired, but in the end, he realized (as I hope you will) that relationships are more important than things and money can't buy true happiness.

Attitude is Everything

Example: Cinderella Movie Even when circumstances weren't the best, Cinderella chose to have a good attitude and stay positive. I hope that you will learn to do the same.

Just Keep Swimming

Example: Finding Nemo Movie Dory gives some wise advice for when things get tough, "Just keep swimming"...life will trow plenty of rough patches your way, but don't give up...you'll get through it.

Don't Sweat the Small Stuff

Example: Lion King Movie Worrying will only get you down. Hakuna Matata, baby.

Don't Judge a Book by its Cover

Example: Monsters Inc. Sometimes first impressions are wrong and you can't tell what someone is like simply by looking at them, just as Sulley and Mike discovered of little Boo. I hope that you will learn not to judge others by their appearance and will get to know them for what's inside, because that is what truly matters.

You Are Strong and Capable

Example: Mulan Movie Yes you are a girl, but that does not mean that you are any less strong or capable because of it. Just like the warrior Mulan, you can accomplish great things little one.

You're Never too Old to have Fun

Example: Peter Pan There will come a time (probably when you are a teenager) when you might think you are too mature to be silly and have fun, but take a cue from Peter Pan and enjoy your youth. You can be responsible later.

Honesty is the Best Policy

Example: Pinocchio Movie Pinocchio learned the hard way that telling lies can have negative consequences. Honesty really is the best policy.

Learn to Accept Differences

Example: Pocahontas Movie Don't be afraid of people who are different than you are. Our differences are what make us beautiful.

Never Give Up on Your Dreams

Example: Princess and the Frog Tiana taught us that with a little luck and a lot of hard work, no dream is too big.

Being Kind is Beautiful

Example: Snow White Movie Being pretty is nice, but being kind is even better. Being the "fairest in the land" is worth nothing if you have an ugly heart and a mean spirit.

Face your Fears

Example: Tangled Movie: I hope you will learn to face your fears head on not let fear of failure keep you from trying - locked away in a tower - because you'll never know if you never try. If things don't turn out the way you had hoped? Well, then "just find a new dream".

Remember Where You Came From

Example: The Little Mermaid Movie It's OK to change and grow and explore new things, but I hope that you will always remember where you came from and who you are.

Good vs. Evil: one character does the right thing and one character does the bad thing

Examples: Batman and The Joker Batman wants to stop crime and protect the people of Gotham City, but the Joker is always out to destroy Batman and take over the city.

Bravery or Courage: standing up in the face of fear and staying strong

Examples: The Brave Movie

Friendship: Someone who is always there for me

Examples: Toy Story Movie You've got a friend in me!

Appreciate the little things in life

Examples: Up Movie Throughout "Up", Carl is pursuing the "big adventure" that he never got to have with Ellie, but in the end realizes that his relationship with Ellie was the real adventure. I hope you learn to take the time to appreciate the relationships in your life and stops to smell the roses and enjoy the journey - because it really is more about the journey than the destination as Carl discovered.
