Wow this such a thorough and insightful take on a powerful movie! I throughly enjoyed reading your thoughts on it :)

What I loved most about this movie is how it opens up kids’ eyes to the full spectrum of human emotions and shows them that feelings are neither good nor bad - they are a part of the human experience and every emotion plays an important role in our lives. It helps them see that their feelings don’t define them and they are a good kid underneath it all.

I watched it with my 6 year old who’d never heard of “anxiety”! But like me he’s a perfectionist so he’s definitely felt it. Now when those feelings inevitably come up for him, he’ll have a word for it. He won’t feel so alone. Maybe he’ll even picture an orange face, googly eyes and crazy hair!
