You said exactly what I was thinking when I received yet another email denouncing the movie and calling for sending nasty feedback to Disney.<br /> <br /> We did see the movie, and my daughter found a very positive role model in the main character who inspires her to "keep moving forward". I was glad I knew the story line because of all the buzz about it. But was also not offended by how it was handled. This orphaned boy, rejected because he was weird after all was the hero, grew up to live happily ever after -- that's Disney!<br /> <br /> It's a movie made FOR kids...sometimes we adults take ourselves so seriously!<br /> <br /> I loved the large train...and the talking frogs (how real is that?)

It’s a movie made FOR kids…sometimes we adults take ourselves so seriously!

I loved the large train…and the talking frogs (how real is that?)

You can't have a cartoon in the perspective of a kid and have them KNOW terms like "birthmother" and ect. I get more annoyed at articles written by people who know nothing about adoption. 9 out of ten times people will think, it's a cartoon, not a reflection of life, but if you get someone writing about international adoption, especially Guatamala who knows NOTHING about the process, doesn't bother to interview parents who have adopted from there then it's much, much, much more harmful. <br /> <br /> Also the movie had a dinosaur, a large train, a flying saucer and a mini hat.<br /> It was cool.
