Movies with which to smile

1.  Gru, my favorite villain. This movie has authentic hilarious moments with messages for both parents and children. In addition, this film will also remind everyone of the importance of the family and the need to cultivate it. Although the film in which the Minions appeared for the first time is very fun, we should take the opportunity to talk to children about good and evil so that their hero is not a villain.

2.  Rain of meatballs. Delirious film that in addition to making the family laugh, will teach children the value of working to make the world a better place. The leading scientist tries to eradicate hunger in the world with his work. In addition, the little ones will also learn a valuable lesson about responsibility.

3.  A father in distress. An opportunity for children to learn about another of the classics of family cinema. A father in distress teaches us the value of spending time with family and how this can become the best gift to offer the little ones, even better than the fashionable action figure.

4.  Planet 51. What if the stories of Martians were the other way around? What if this time it were a human being that caused chaos on another planet? With Planet 51 the children, besides having a good time having fun with this movie, will learn the value of friendship and respect for those who are different.

5.  Transylvania hotel. A fun adventure where the little ones will also understand the value of the family and how hard it is for parents to accept the changes that every child goes through. An opportunity to laugh while remembering how important it is that everyone at home stays together and we learn to love everyone despite the differences.

6.  The minions. The cute yellow characters that accompanied Gru in their adventures have their own movie full of laughs and adventures. A story that in addition to having fun teaches children the need to find themselves and know their place in the world.

7.  Frozen. Nobody at home can stand the laugh before the friendly Olaf, the snowman who accompanies the protagonists in this film where also the little ones can learn the true value of the family.

8.  Reverse. With this movie everyone will be hooked. Not only because of the laughter, but because this tape has a message for each member of the house, parents will understand a little more about the changes their children are going through and they will understand what aspects of their life are truly important.

9.  Looking for Dory. Sequel of Finding Nemo where the nice fish Dory is this time who is lost. Nemo and his father will have to get going to find his friend while they live thousands of hilarious adventures. A good opportunity to talk about friendship and about the importance of tenacity.

10.  Ice Age 5. The last installment of this saga with which the whole family has laughed at the hand of Sid the lazy and Manny the mammoth. Of course there is no lack of laughter from the history of Scrat and his acorn. Laughter is once again the hallmark of the house while the concept of helping others is retaken.
