6 Great Movies About Animals
How to inspire children to love nature
I find movies such a great way to discover the world, and inspire kids to learn more about all kinds of things. But the good movies can be really hard to find, and I’m always disappointed when I find myself wasting away time on something that just wasn’t worth it.
One of the great themes for family time is of course animals. It’s usually quite a safe theme to pick, because it tends to be both family friendly, fun and educational all at once. Here are a few tips of movies that I and my family have enjoyed watching together.
1. AILO’S JOURNEY
Ailo’s Journey, also called “A Reindeer’s Journey,” is a movie by Gillaume Maidatchevsky from 2018.
It’s an amazing movie, with beautiful wildlife scenery, where you get to follow the first year in a caribou calf’s life. The movie was filmed in Finnish Lapland, and is not your typical documentary. Instead, the script is turned into a personal story, the adventure of one single calf named Ailo. The English narrator (Donald Sutherland) beautifully guides you through the different joys and dangers that may occur during the migration of the flock over the mountains. It’s truly a captivating story for the whole family.
