Movie of the Month: Rio

Kids are definitely fickle, especially with favorite shows. For awhile Joshua really liked Daniel Tiger, but that is now not even something they voluntarily watch. Same with Barney (Hannah will watch Barney, but rarely gets the chance because the others no longer enjoy it). Joshua is pretty much over Veggie Tales, but is still willing to watch it and Clara loves it still. And with movies, it's the same, but they don't really outgrow them, they just are not quite as excited about them. For awhile they were really into Frozen. They still like it, but it's not their "go-to" favorite any more. Same with Shrek (for Joshua. Clara was never into it) and the first two Toy Story movies (they don't like the third) and Despicable Me (a little. They liked it, but never loved it). Rio is currently their super favorite. And they love the music. This is Joshua and Clara dancing to it, with Hannah hanging out with them. Hannah is not that into TV yet, so she mostly plays and occasionally enjoys a song. Rio is not my favorite animated film. It's fine, but nothing great and it has a bit more mean words or potty jokes (neither of which my kids notice so that's a plus) than I find ideal, but it does make me want to go to Brazil and the music is reasonably enjoyable. I am not sure what we will be watching next. I think we'll try A Bug's Life, but you never know if they will like it. We first tried Rio last year and Joshua told me to turn it off almost immediately, so it could be like that.
