I think if the movie was followed up by a discussion or a comprehenision style test, then it is just as educational as all thoose boring education movies you have to watch in school. Thoose books are on Our childrens list of AR books. That AR tests are taken on. I for one and very much intrested in ways to teach our children using visual, auditory means verses reading which to some kids is next to impossible and to others boring..
If they learned something about how to watch, listen, and then relay what they saw and heard, I think they have learned a valuable lesson.
