Stockholm Syndrome

If you want your kids to learn about Stockholm Syndrome, I recommend "Tangled." And if you want to put them through your own version of Stockholm Syndrome, just buy the DVD when it comes out and let your toddlers watch it over and over like they do. Seriously, Disney, what the heck? Disney does animal sidekicks well and Rapunzel was cute, but the repeated guilt tripping scenes of the kidnap victim mentally bound to her kidnapper... I thought it was ridiculous for a kids' movie... Kids don't know it's Stockholm Syndrome, but they know that Rapunzel felt like she was supposed to listen to her captor. I don't care how much singing, pretty colors and funny sidekicks you put in there... when Disney writers were batting around possible scenarios for this movie, I can't believe this is the one they landed on! I'm wondering if Disney writers watch made for TV movies about horrible situations before they go into their pitch meetings... Kids' movies should be about sharing, empathy, taking turns, winning and losing gracefully, etc. etc. Not their version of Stockholm Syndrome!! The common point of all other princess movies is that the bad guy is obvious to the little viewer, because the main character is scared of Ursula, The Dragon, The Wicked Queen, etc. To that aspect, "Tangled" is way more twisted, because the main character feels guilty when she doesn't obey the bad guy. Gross.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Toy Story 3 Great Lesson
PostedJune 19, 2010

In a time when few kids are taught to take care of their things and most importantly, other people's things, this movie stands out as a must see. If parents aren't able to take the time to teach their children this lesson, maybe Toy Story 3 will.
This story inspires big laughs and possible tears. It speaks to the kids as well as the parents.
Warning: Before you go, do remind your child that all kid's movies end up happy. If your child can remember that, he or she will make it through the incinerator and baby doll bouncer scenes, which are scary.
