Joseph: King of Dreams – This is the biblical story of Joseph beautifully animated by the creators of the classic The Prince of Egypt. Growing up, I learned a lot through this show! It closely matched the beloved book, and I felt it in no way was cheesy.įetch with Ruff Ruffman – This educational reality game show for kids is ran by an animated dog, but features real-life contestants who are sent on “missions” exploring different careers and professions, in a similar way “Magic School Bus” might. I’m proud to say the movie did not disappoint. Through resourcefulness and teamwork, they call it home. Along the way, they find an old abandoned boxcar. Henry, Jessie, Violet and Benny are orphans running away from the grandfather.
The Boxcar Children – The Boxcar Children was my favorite series growing up. Heidi (2015) – Based on the book, I haven’t seen this animated flick but this feel-good movie seems to be quality made and has positive reviews.
Filled with sweet lessons and beloved characters, this definitely is a classic for a reason. For younger kids, I believe “character-building” can simply mean a positive flick with encouraging messages that good will triumph evil.Ĭharlotte’s Web – Wilbur is a young pig who befriends a wondrous spider, Charlotte. (Thank you for such a great response!) We recently got Netflix, and have had fun exploring a plethora of great flicks!įor older kids, I believe “character-building” means thought-provoking flicks that force you to grow as a person in some way. This is the follow up sequel to the original Character-Building, Family-Friendly Movie Nights for Kids. Otherwise you are making their destiny not brighter but darker.” -C.S.
“Since it is so likely that (children) will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage.
