Cartoons Aren't Only For Kids Anymore

While writing my previous post I realized that cartoons are no more teaching only kids. They also do have a deep lesson for us, the grown ups. Watching Ratatouille was an experience and learning the lessons from it was another. After realizing that the harsh words of critics are hard to write. And the critic praising a marvelous work, ignoring the other facts is so unacceptable. I now do understand the feelings of both the critic and the creator.
Do you think your kid watching Ratatouille will understand that part? No for him/her the movie is simply a fun movie, at most teaching them that anyone can cook. Kids after seeing the movie might experiment with cooking too. I used to do it, whichever movie I used to watch in my childhood, I use to enter into that character. I remember I saw the bugs life during my school days and all my friends were trying to be Flik (The Ant). We all learned that unity leads to success. I am glad that I am still learning from these cartoon movies.

Kung – Fu – Panda is the best example of a cartoon movie for everyone, its a movie teaching you a lot. Each character in the movie has one or the other management quality. No wonder why my brother had a office self management session. He bought the DVD of the movie for his kids at the time of the movie release and now watched it again to see the part he missed in the session. We were making fun of my brother, but when he narrated the same story with its motivational meanings, we were inspired. The diamond dreamer has explained each character of Kung-Fu-Panda in quite a similar way

Though the list of such masterpieces is long I would still mention few in short. UP asking you to go all out and chase your dreams, its never late. Cars says rushing for our success might tend to miss out on simple pleasures of the life. We should learn to take breaks once in a while and enjoy the simpler things. Finding Nemo simply asking you to explore yourself and let the world know your presence. Its never harmful to go around and learn, you will have few enemies but a lot more friends & well wishers.
Learning from animated movies is not only fun but is really an awesome way of teaching the adults. Organizing some motivational events and showing such movies or short movies really brings a boost for the employees. I personally admire those firms a lot who know how to keep their personnel keep going happily. The zest and the passion to work for the firm can be seen more in such environments where motivation is in the form fun activities like showing cartoon movies, playing strategic games etc.
So next time if your kids are watching cartoon movie better you accompany them and share the lessons learned.
