Peter Pan and Wendy is a fabulous adaption of the Peter Pan story. Parents and caregivers should be aware that the movie is a little slower paced. It definitely is not the speed of an action or animated movie. While there are some tense moments and a very light amount of scary imagery, this is one of the more tame live action Disney movies. Kids that are seven or older should be able to enjoy it. I will say that the story itself could be triggering for families or kids who have experienced any sort of family trauma or loss. Overall it was a really well made movie and adaption. We appreciated that it was more culturally respectful and inclusive. And it was definitely one of our favorite Disney live action remakes.

1946 was a very well made and informative documentary. It follows the stories of 3 people as they research how to be faithful to God and LGBTQ+ allies. I appreciate that the documentary specifically focused on being educational and reconciliatory over being aggressive and condemning. I'm currently working on some discussion questions but this is an excellent discussion starter. And while you won't come away knowing every single argument to the difficult Biblical passages they discuss, you will have a really good starting point. An encouraging, but also potentially triggering, watch for those who are exploring their religious and sexual identities. Personally, I've only been an ally for a few years and am struggling through my own church hurt and religious identity- and this was a hope filled watch. And it didn't have to be. I loved how they ended it. God loves you.

Parents should know that Jurassic World Dominion is a fan movie. It really focuses on the characters wrapping up their storylines. And when it's not character driven, it's jump scare driven. While I would say it is not as violent as the previous films there are significantly more jump scare moments. The kid behind us seemed to be about 8 and left the movie crying. If your kids can handle the previous movies on the small screen, they will probably be able to handle this one on the small screen. But also be aware that a jump scare at home is a lot different than a jump scare on a giant theater screen. We really loved it though because of the way it positively represented biological and adoptive family members as well as adoptees. Find our full adoptive parent review on our blog. Down the Hobbit Hole Blog. Besides those points, it was very similar to the rest of the series. The cursing and bloodshed are about on par with the previous movies, possibly less. The movie concludes the entire Jurassic movie series (reportedly) and it was definitely made with the fans in mind.
