Podcasts about kids movies

Send us a Question!REBROADCAST MOVIE DISCUSSION: In this rebroadcast episode (originally released September 28th, 2021), Melvin & Dan talk about one of Laika's several family-friendly horror-animated features, ParaNorman!  Topics: ParaNorman has a comfortable, cozy Fall atmosphere.Laika takes advantage of it's medium to create a fun, charismatic animation style that separates itself from the competition.Melvin shares about an extremely lonely period in his life where he tried talking to ghosts because he had no one else to talk to.Melvin, "When you're just feeling distant and weird, all you want is someone to step into your world and spend time with you."How ParaNorman isn't really all that scary, especially compared to something like Coraline.But also, how ParaNorman can have these intensely emotional moments elevated by the children's story-book nature of the movie.Discussing what it's like to be an outcast, or treated differently, for your interests (in particular, Melvin & Dan being Christians who like horror movies).In this particular case, most Christians who enjoy horror movies have a strong understanding as to why they enjoy them than most Christians have with non-horror movies."Weird" people know that they're "weird" and see how others treat people who are also "weird", and it can become a perpetual self-isolating and self-preservation machine to try and keep away from those who may target their "weirdness" for laughs, bullying, or with disappointment. In Christian circles, when people are ostracized for certain qualities, social ticks, or "abnormal" hobbies, it's not a far-cry for people to start thinking the Lord sees them in a similar fashion: weird, different, separate, and superfluous.And, finally, we talk about that one joke between characters Mitch and Courtney that apparently became the big talking point during the time of ParaNorman's release, despite there being so much more to talk about (as proven by the rest of the episode).Recommendations: Nate Pickowicz's "How to Eat Your Bible: A Simple Approach to Learning and Loving the Word of God"Parents: Learn to be interested in your kid's lives!Gilmore Girls // Dark Matter Support the showSupport on Patreon for Unique Perks!

Films like A Minecraft movie and Lilo and Stitch.Last year Inside Out 2 led the global box office earning $1.69 billion, and 6 out of the top 10 movies were animated - it's a big jump up from the year before.

Films for children and young adults are giving a major boost to cinemas. The recent A Minecraft Movie smashed records, making $301 million globally in its opening weekend - the biggest ever for a video game adaptation.

Send us a textWelcome back to DMR!As I review the latest kids movie taking the world by storm:"Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn't just help you craft, it's essential to one's survival! Four misfits--Garrett "The Garbage Man" Garrison (Jason Momoa), Henry (Sebastian Eugene Hansen), Natalie (Emma Myers) and Dawn (Danielle Brooks)--find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they'll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Jack Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative... the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world."The film as already made over $552m globaly in less than two weeks and has become the most successful video game based movie in history!This film had elements of The Labyrinth, The Matrix & Tron; however it definitely stands on its own two feet despite some similarities.This is what happens when you make a kids movie that stays true to its story and avoids adding in politics or changing a storyline.Enjoy - DMRSupport the show

Reed Diamond discusses his acting philosophy, emphasizing the importance of being in the moment and collaborating with fellow actors. He contrasts this with the competitive, cutthroat environment of "Homicide," where actors actively tried to undermine each other. Diamond admires strategic actors like Val Kilmer but prefers a more spontaneous, improvisational approach. He also reflects on the impact of social media and politics on society, advocating for authenticity, empathy, and local action.

To wrap up a successful Marks Madness, we have perhaps our toughest assignment yet: deciding the best cool kids movie. These are movies in which we wished we were the kids in the movie. There's sports, go-karts, pirate ships, and a whole lot of 12 year old heroes. Enjoy!

Between 1992 and 1994, Hollywood became obsessed with movies about kids playing sports, going on adventures, and just being generally cool. The boys put together a bracket of those movies. Enjoy!

In this episode we discuss the irksome texture of kiwi, juice from concentrate, the sonic warfare waged by the words “ceetus lupeedus” , how boring space seems, the angler fish, studying bone marrow in space, the blurring of lines between adults and kids, a boy band called Microbe, what a big brat Zenon is, the tragic aunt Judy character, the sonic equivalent of “the dress”, and SO MUCH MORE!!!

Is THIS For Kids? (ITFK?) Podcast Episode 71 Part 1 | Is Mufasa the King of Kids Movies? The first live action Lion King had a lot of skeptics, so thankfully Disney pivoted away from a live action Lion King 1 and a Half and instead gave us a brand new story: Mufasa.

Live action animal stories have a sort of narrow niche among kids and Lin Manuel Miranda has a huge following among adults so was this more for parents than kids? Jon and Katie discuss it this week!

Host Matthew Fox and guest Paul Hoppe dive deep into two animated blockbusters - "Raya and the Last Dragon" and "Luca" - to uncover the profound themes and allegories hidden beneath their family-friendly veneer.How can animated films tackle complex social issues?

Meanwhile, Luca serves as a powerful allegory for coming out and accepting one's true self, all set against the sun-drenched backdrop of the Italian Riviera.What makes these films resonate with audiences of all ages? Our hosts discuss the delicate balance of humor and gravitas, the importance of representation, and how these movies challenge societal norms while remaining accessible to younger viewers.Other topics covered:The evolution of the Disney princess tropeQueer coding and representation in mainstream animationThe impact of diverse character representation on young audiencesHow animated films can normalize differences and foster acceptanceThe role of allegory in addressing complex themes for all agesWhether you're a film buff, animation enthusiast, or simply curious about the power of storytelling, this episode offers a fresh perspective on the depth and significance of modern animated features.

Cooper and Nolan are getting trashed this week when they cover THE GARBAGE PAIL KIDS MOVIE! Despite the tagline promising a live action heap of fun, when the guys lifted the lid on this stinker that is NOT what they found. Luckily there's lots to talk about, from the truly haunting Garbage Pail Kids' head effects to 80s parenting techniques to who is and isn't allowed to wear a dashiki. There's a lot more to be found as well, so get ready to sift through the mess; this episode (featuring a beer from All My Friends Beer Co.) is one you won't want to throw away!

Elliott long claimed we would NEVER do the Garbage Pail Kids Movie, due to its extreme unpleasantness, but it only took a live show and the participation of our most GPK-pushing pal, Mr. Griffin Newman, of the excellent Blank Check podcast to break his resolve. What other core principles can we make Elliott discard? Keep listening in the years to come, and we'll see!Also, for all those Hallie fans out there, remember that our next streaming show “Three Men and a Hallie” debuts tomorrow, with tickets on sale now!

Nowadays, America's Culkinheads are all Kieran this, Kieran that. But back in 1994, we were still living in the Macaulay Epoch—though not for much longer, with that year's film adaptation of Richie Rich serving as the final childhood role for the darling young movie star. Nowadays you've probably only heard of this for the scene where Richie has a private McDonalds in his mansion, but fear not, as we're here to go long and deep on this "what if a kid had money" genre picture.
