The Lion King

            The movie the Lion King is one of my favorite movies! It shows what it is like to be a lion. Also it demonstrates betrayal, and overcoming a fear.

            This movie is about a little lion named Simba, who when he grows up is going to be the King of Pride Rock. When he was younger his dad died and Simba was tricked by his uncle, Scar to believe that it was his fault! He ran away to live somewhere else. So will Mufusa, Simba’s dad, dead and Simba gone, the throne was left empty. So Scar took over, and he made the hyena’s live with the lions. All the other animals moved away, and the pride was forced to leave pride rock or to starve to death. Nala, one of Simba’s childhood friends goes to seek food and almost eats’ one of Simba’s friends! Nala tells Simba what has been happening at home. Simba is to afraid to go back because of his past. He’s left with the decision, to do what’s right, or to keep living his life.

            I thought this was a great movie because, it showed that everyone has responsibilities; even lions. Also I thought it was very life like. It also gave me a picture of what it would really be like to go to Africa in the wild. I thought this movie was a four. It was violent, which for a younger kid could be very frighening. Also it showed that disrespecting your parents is okay, which it is not.   

            This movie is not based off a book. After the movie however, there was little kid books made about this book. And also the Lion King Two. I would highly recommend seeing this movie because it’s a good movie for the young and old.

Finding Nemo

                Finding Nemo is one of the best family movies ever. It demonstrates that everyone is important. There are billion of fish in the ocean, and Nemo’s dad, Marlin, doesn’t lose hope of ever finding his son.

            This movie is about Marlin, a clown fish, who gets his son taken away by divers. Marlin then finds Dory. Dory forgets things very quickly and talks a lot, which isn’t a good combination for a scared confused dad. They get shark friends, get trapped into a pool of jellyfish and even meet a 150 year old sea turtle, all trying to find this one fish. Nemo is in Wallabeeway, Sydney at a dentist office. Nemo is going to be a present for Darla, the dentist niece. But Darla is evil, she constantly shakes the bag vigorously, and she even killed her last fish. So all the other fish in the fish tank try every attempt they can think of to save Nemo.

            I thought this movie was great. One because the voices went along with the characters. Also it was full of action that made me want to keep watching the movie. Also nothing was really predictable. It always threw you off guard. And it also went from what adventure Marlin was in, then back to the fish tank with Nemo. Also the ocean looked like what actual fish looked like. The movie used great coloring, and made it seem life like.

            This movie was not based off a book. I thought this book was about a four. One because I thought the beginning was boring, and it left some parts out. Other than that I thought it was a great family movie. I would love to go see it again!
