Review of Life, Animated

What a wonderful film. So inspiring. Really, there are layers of messages here for all of us.

The impact and importance of great parenting jumps right out at me for a start.

I won't go into much of it, bottom line- watch this film from beginning to end. It will stick with you.

I would love to encourage parents to watch this with their young teenage children. There are a number of subjects that could be opened up for discussion from this film.

Small spoiler- besides the obvious topics of valuing others as they are and embracing change- there is a big opportunity is to discuss with young people that disappointment often comes after first love. The majority of people do not spend their lives with their first love.

Owen's journey can bring some light to the idea that although everyday situations are even more challenging for him, he comes out on the other side stronger; still with a smile on his face and the will to grow and succeed.

Very heartwarming. I do see this film as a lovely gift. It is not just for kids, adults will enjoy it too.

Thank you for sharing your story.
