Top 10 Animated Movies You Should Watch With Your kids

The pandemic increased the amount of content consumed by kids drastically. You can use this as an opportunity to bond with them and make sure they are consuming the right content!

As the summer break approaches, the kids get excited to spend time with their friends and finally, take a breather from their studies. This is also an excellent opportunity for parents to connect with their kids and spend quality time with them. It is vital to create a bond with your children during their growing years as it nurtures a healthy relationship between the two. There are various ways of spending quality time with your kid, but one of the most impactful and easiest ways is to watch a movie together. Children learn a lot from the content they consume and a parent needs to make sure their kids are consuming meaningful content. Content that not only entertains them but also teaches them a valuable lesson about life. Animated movies have always been the best source of meaningful content.

Here is a list of ten such animated movies that you can watch with your kid/s in the coming break:

10) How to Train Your Dragon

How to Train Your Dragon is an amazing tale of friendship between a boy and a dragon. The boy lives on an island where men are raised to be hunters to hunt dragons, however, he has a very different approach towards them for which he is mocked. The movie is more than just their friendship, the movie tells us about the journey of a boy trying to prove himself to his father and the other island hunters. You can watch the movie on Netflix.

9) DC League of Super-Pets

If your kid is a fan of superhero films, this is a must-watch. DC comics’ Super-pets is undoubtedly one of their best-animated movies. It is the story of how a pet dog with superpowers creates a team of Super-Pets to rescue his owner (Superman) and the rest of the Justice League. You can watch the movie on Amazon Prime Video.

8) Up

Up is a movie about 78-year-old Carl Fredrickson who has lost his wife and is on a journey to fulfil his wife’s last wish. However, when he meets a few people on his journey, he learns more about life, friendship, kindness, and joy. You can watch the movie on Disney+.

7) Ratatouille

Ratatouille is the story of an unusual friendship between Linguini, a simple boy who wants to be a chef, and Remmy, a rat who is an expert in cooking and lives the same dream as the boy. This movie covers some important topics like friendship, greed, respect, and love. You can watch the movie on Disney+.

6) Kung Fu Panda 2

An excellent sequel to an exceptional film. Kung Fu Panda is one of the best-animated franchises existing and has created some remarkable characters. Kung Fu Panda 2 talks about some important issues that are relevant to us at any age. It teaches us one of the most important lessons in life, which is to let go of the past. You can watch the movie on Netflix.

5) Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse

Spider-man has always been one of the most loved superheroes of all time. We have always known this superhero by the name of Peter Parker, however, this is the story of Miles Morales. When the spider-man in his universe is killed and he (Miles) gets bitten by the radioactive spider, we see his journey of becoming the new Spider-man. The movie talks about courage, friendship, and family. The movie also even talks about depression, but since it is a kid’s film, it is done in a rather subtle way. You can watch the movie on Netflix.

4) Inside Out

Inside Out has to be one of the most creative children’s movies to ever be written. Though it is a kids’ film, it talks about a very heavy topic, which is human emotions through a girl named Riley and how her life changes when she moves to San Francisco with her parents. You can watch the movie on Disney+.

3) Brave

Brave is a perfect choice for a mother-daughter movie night. It is the tale of a courageous princess who is tired of listening to her mother all the time and wants to be free from all the rules. The story gets interesting and rather funny when Merida has to save her mother from a witch’s curse. You can watch the movie on Disney+.

2) Coco

Coco is an Oscar-winning film that tells us the tale of a young boy named Miguel who wants to pursue music but unfortunately, is born into a family that hates music and has a rule of no music. Miguel is banished to the land of the dead when he does not stop playing the guitar and learns about his family’s past as he meets his ancestors. You can watch the movie on Disney+.

1) Kung Fu Panda

Kung Fu Panda is a perfect example of maintaining a balance between entertaining and teaching when it comes to kids’ movies. Kung Fu Panda is undoubtedly the most hilarious animated movie with an extraordinary lead character Po. The movie teaches us the importance of believing in ourselves, believing in others and most importantly, never giving up. You can watch the movie on Netflix.

Each of the ten movies mentioned above has its unique tale and characters. Movies have always been an important part of our lives movies teach us some of the most important life lessons which we wouldn’t be able to learn in classrooms. I believe it is our duty as parents/adults to make sure our youth is learning these important lessons along with maths, science, and other subjects. Hence, don’t forget to watch these movies with your kid during the holidays and stay tuned for more such content on films.

Want good grades for your kids? Try us!

Good grades for your kids?

We can help your kids get good grades at school. In a Forbes article, “The Pew Research Center found, nearly 90% of 2,462 teachers said that digital technologies were creating “an easily distracted generation with short attention spans.” (Barret, 2012). Existing in a constantly changing technological world, Generation Z faced technology as soon as they stepped into the world. The issue is not technology but the usage.

Trouble scoring good grades — Person fighting the distractions

That being said, PSB toys designed a toy by conducting thorough research about the connection between concentration levels and academic performance. A toy built using latest technology for your kids to help build concentration and focus helping them to score good grades.

During the pandemic times, while being stuck at homes kids could not help but stay on devices all day. Because of this, kids were inviting more distraction and so drifting away from their academics. Because of online learning, kids would spend more time on devices than before.

Lack of concentration — Kid trying to concentrate

As a former Monk, “Dhandapani” says: “If you’re practicing distraction for 12, 13 out of that 16 hours, seven days a week, then you’re going to become really, really good at it” (Dhandapani, 2017). Distracted kids tend to score lower grades than undistracted kids.

Kids face troubles in concentrating in school and distract themselves at home to run away from doing homework. As a result, fall back on their academics.

Concentration apart from good grades

Benefits of higher concentration levels are not restricted to just scoring good grades.

Concentration and good grades — Benefits of building concentration

Concentration toy specifically designed to build concentration and focus in kids while doing any task, may it be studying to achieve good grades. Learning a new skill like playing the piano, learning to skateboard, ice-skate, karate, basketball, tennis etc. Concentration is the cornerstone to all areas of a kid’s life. Benefits for higher concentration levels in kids just not come into use in these areas. But also learning and achieving good grades helps kids build self-esteem, enables quick comprehension, improves memory. And also giving them the skill to think for themselves. This also benefits the kids in the long-run and helps them survive confidently in their future. It also helps the kids excel in the professional world.

Sequence and good grades

Moreover, the concentration toy by PSB toys for your kids is different from a traditional way to help kids build concentration. Because it becomes boring and less fun for the kids. With working parents, it gets harder to sit with the kids and spend time with them teaching them to practice concentration. This is one of the reasons why PSB toys developed the concentration toy to be a fun toy. So, kids are attracted to the toy on their own and do not have to be pushed. As a result, kids would have fun and at the same time build concentration levels.

Sequence toy refers to arranging things or alphabets in order and do activities which involves following instructions step by step. This sequence toy uses technology to keep track of the kid’s progress. It catches when the kid misses a step during the couple of activities for sequencing.

Our research team at PSB toys did a great job researching about the toy and getting it developed by professional IT personnel. Most importantly, PSB team got the toy rolling for a year with parents who volunteered to use the toy for their kids and shared results later which showed improved grades for their kids.

Want your kids to score good grades, try us.
