Make Money Making Movies – For Kids!

Unless you’re Steven Spielberg, a movie business opportunity may seem near impossible to achieve. But what if your actors and audiences are those who prefer G rated films with funny characters, mysterious but satisfying story lines and lots of wild costumes and props If you own a video camera, a computer with video editing software, love to shop at thrift stores and garage sales, then you too can have a video based business and become a Steven Spielberg for kids who love acting.

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast – Movie Review

For Walt Disney Animation Studios, the 30th time’s the charm. While some may love the 29 feature length animated films that came before or the 20 that have come since, I prefer Beauty and the Beast. I could write a whole article on why it’s better than The Lion King or Aladdin (a close second) or even the classics like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs or Cinderella, but I’ll save that for later. This article is strictly about a tale as old as time.

One of the oldest fairy tales, La Belle et la Bête, is masterfully adapted by Disney in this Academy Award winning animation. Long ago, a young prince selfishly refused shelter to an old beggar woman who then reveals herself as a beautiful enchantress. She cursed him to the form of a monstrous beast for judging her not by her inner beauty but by her outward appearance. If he did not find a woman to love him in his frightening embodiment by his 21st birthday, he would be doomed to live the rest of his days as the Beast.
