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.

Kids Rule on TV

Most kids these days are exposed to technology at a very young age. A pre-schooling age toddler spends most of his day watching TV. Some health professionals find the situation very unhealthy for kids for the fact that kids should go out and have fun in the sun or at least there is a playtime outside. I have experienced many incidents in my life where kids of age group 4-8 talk about the TV serial / shows just as if they are 30+. Its really shocking to see the kids talking like elders and all because of TV . Television is a big knowledge book for all of us including the kids. We learn what we watch, we should let our kids watch the shows which are educative and for the kids. Especially now when the era of Tatasky DTH and iControl has emerged. Technologies like DTH & IPTV provide the features like Parental control. You can simply set the channels that you don't want your child to watch. Not only this they also provide educative applications with the help of which your kid can learn exactly what is meant for him/her.
Talking about the maximum amount of time spent on TV is by kids I would love to refer Nielsen Wire: A Kid’s Eye View on Television and Beyond. Nielsen Wire have shown some stats of how much time kids are spending on TV & Internet. I must say kids are watching a lot of TV and all because theres a lot to watch on TV. Kids are ruling on TV, either outside TV screen or inside. In both the cases kids are the boss. At all the homes TV is turned-ON on the channel that the kids like. At least I can find my nieces stick to TV. When they are watching the TV no one and I mean no one at all can watch TV of his/her choice. But the thing is they watch the informative stuff and thats something I prefer always. Watching TV 3 - 4 hours a day for Kids is enough, but unfortunately the thing is not followed. Kids watch TV whole day. From noon to night they are watching TV all the time. In fact kids are not only watching the cartoon channels, they also watch the daily soaps (TV Serials) that their mother is watching. So Dear moms please schedule your TV hours accordingly, try to keep away your kids from such non-educative non- informative shows. You can watch your show later on as nowadays a very advantageous facility of recording your Live TV is present. In fact iControl in India records all the stuff coming on your TV, so you don't even have to take the headache of pressing the button of your remote in order to save a particular show. With all such advance features kids watching TV for hours can be controlled.
Kids are not only ruling TV at homes but also ruling inside TV, what I mean is that kids are acting in the TV shows and leaving behind all the elders. They are not only making the TV shows hit in ranking but they are actually attracting all age group viewers. Kids are everywhere movies,serials, singing shows, contests,comedy and anchoring etc. I must say its the era of kids, they really rule this TV world.
