  Pirates of the Caribbean

 1 Angel

  

Disney's efforts to capitalize on their much loved theme park ride hit the jackpot with this offering. *It was billed along the lines of 'Not your little brother's Disney movie'. Caution should definitely be considered for young children who are easily frightened. Many people allow their younger children to view PG-13 movies and the special effects of the pirates is deliciously creepy for those who can handle it. With a driving musical sound track, stunning special effects and fun acting by all, this film is sure secure a spot in your home movie library. (Note to parents of pre-adolescent girls - While many young hearts were thumping over Orlando Bloom we'll bet you'd never think you'd hear the pretty universal appraisal, uttered in reference to  Johnny Depp, "He looks so cool in eye liner!")

Recommended. 

Appropriate Age Range: 7 to 100's (*PG-13)

Please Remember: Discuss the movie with them afterward! It is important to watch the show with them, at least the first time. This should not be considered a luxury option unless you are absolutely positive that you completely and wholeheartedly approve of all of the content contained in the viewing experience! 

Regardless, it is crucial that you at least talk with them about what they thought about what they just saw:

bullet What did they like the most? 
bullet What about that did they enjoy? 
bullet Was there anything they didn't like? 
bullet What was it about that part that had them feel that way? 
bulletWho were your favorite characters, and why?

The discussion can be as important or often more valuable experience than the movie itself! Do not loose the opportunity to teach your values, clarify their uncertainties or explain what they saw. This helps them develop their own reasoning skills. This returns control to your own household, teaches what your family values and reduces the power that media has to influence your children. And after all, isn't this what we want for our children?
