It's really amazing how influential Disney movies are to kids. If you have never heard of the move Frozen you probably are in total isolation or you don't know anyone with kids. This movie is like heroin for any child, especially a girl under the age of 6. After just watching the movie once my laptop was no longer mine. It was now a machine with the main purpose of finding Frozen songs. I don't even dare to say the phrase "let it go" in my house out of fear my wife or daughter will burst out into song. What's crazy is how kids view the main characters of this movie. The one who has all the powers is cool and the one who's trying to save her from turning bad is kind of meh. If Disney would only make a fly fishing movie. Share the problems of development and how it affects wildlife that would be huge. Make a brook trout the main character and show how sediment is affecting the habitat. Have a hellbender be something all the animals are scared of but some how saves the day at the end. Show how a clean stream allows the insects to thrive and how it ties into the ecosystem. I think a movie like this would be more beneficial to children in the long run. A lot better then teaching them there isn't much more to life than singing songs and being a princess.
Turn them on to Olive the Woolly Bugger. No better way to introduce a young one to the sport.
ReplyDeleteI really like your thinking, Kevin! They should definitely do a film like that. I also, agree with, Howard. While I haven't read any of those Olive the Woolly Bugger books, I have seen the illustrations and they are great! They should team up!
ReplyDeleteI actually have all of the Olive the Wooly Bugger books. My kids like them. Unfortunatly the books don't sing songs or include a princess. Maybe if I tell my daughter that Wooly is actually a prince or pincess she'll want me to read them more. She did ask if the prince nymph was a prince. I should have just went with that. lol
ReplyDeleteSo dress up like a princess and sing to her Kevin. Of course we'll want a video or at least pictures.
DeleteThat does give me an idea for Holloween Howard.
DeleteKevin, your daughter seems to be pretty clever too me...."Is the Prince Nymph really a Prince?"
ReplyDeleteNow, that is pretty sharp in my book..................
I, am now hereby obligated, to gather up this movie and set down with my Grandchildren and have some fun.................. Oh, I can't sing a lick!
Not a bad idea, Kevin, though I think not as effective as actually taking the kiddies out to fish and then talking to them. And I'm not sure I'd want to see more River Runs Through It movie fad results, this time for the younger set. But heh, speak to the Disney reps...
