Last night believe it or not, I found a time worth movie in Disney Channel. Yes you're right, the channel responsible for giving us Mickey Mouse and Company, Snow White, Mulan, Arielle of Little Mermaid, The Upin and Ipin Show, and all the kiddie show that a twenty something like me wouldn't even think of including in her channel list. Guess that's not the case for me. I truly enjoy watching this movie, indeed qualitative and enjoyable.
If you're a big fan of Harry Potter, then you sure are into a big treat. Wizardry meets Cinderella and Jane Eyre, the major themes of this movie. Who would have thought that for a moving castle, hiding its exact location was never a problem if you have an expert wizard as a master. While if you think that getting old means boredom and grayish life, then you're wrong. The heroine was cast on a spell by an evil and deceitful witch who's only aim is to maintain her youthfulness, and yet she managed to put a once in a lifetime adventure for herself and even found true love in the end. Even with her weakling bones and arthritic joints, she did not limit herself to be an aid for others that eventually became her own family. Will power and strong determination are just some of the great attitudes you have to possess to be able to accomplish an important mission. Lastly, striving for the goodness of your community is an incomparable deed even if it means to be an outcast of your own society, lost all the respect and prestige that once belong to you, and be forever a monster in the eye of your people, as part of the consequences you have to endure for disobeying the rules of your own government and instead make the necessary and rightful actions just to achieve what is best for everyone like gaining a peaceful and quite life. These are some of the interesting lessons and messages, the story conveyed.
Yes it maybe childlike and animation is more of a kiddie stuff but somehow, a movie like this is a lot more worthy and made of good quality. Magic spell, witch craft and wizardry may be its main ingredients but the simplicity of the message it deliver in end is what makes it remarkable and enticing! Are we not forgetting Toy Story 3, Finding Nemo, Brave and lastly the well applauded UP, what these movies have in common? They are made for animation but possessed a hearty scripted story that gave laughs, smiles, tears and endless joy to the kids and kids at heart.
So people, I'am recommending this film to be part of your weeknight's marathon and urging you to find some of these for your children, nieces, nephews, inaanaks, as shaping their values and attitudes will be a lot easier. Have fun watching!
I know each of us have a kid inside waiting for exploration and discovery.
