Big Hero 6Osmosis Jones (2001)Dream Big: Engineering Our WorldMarch of the Penguins (2005)CyberWork and the American Dream

Big Hero 6

This movie is an adaptation of a superhero comic that marvel fans would know. In the film, a 14-year-old genius kid invents special microbots as the main character faces a tragedy. A group of heroes comes together to overtake a crafty villain using their strengths in chemistry and engineering. Along with the robotic part, the movie also deals with complex emotions of grief, the power of friendship, brotherhood and more. The fun part is that the central robot in the film is designed to heal, not hurt. Kids would love to watch how his moral code positively influences other characters. Teachers can use this movie for a classroom screening and follow it up with a group project for kids asking them which problem they’d like to solve for their classroom/community/group. Other follow-up discussions can be on engineering, robotics, invention, technology and more. The movie can be sensitive for kids who’ve experienced the loss of a loved one, so teachers be cautious about that.

Targeted Age/Grade: The movie is ideal for students aged 7 and above.

I got to watch #Baymax over the weekend and it was an absolute blast! Great for kids with important lessons for adults as well, the show blends emotion and comedy just like #BigHero6 did in the past. Can’t wait for everyone to catch this on @disneyplus! pic.twitter.com/8w5IzfovLY — TJ Zwarych – Agents Of Fandom (@TJ_Zwarych5) June 27, 2022

Osmosis Jones (2001)

Highly underrated and a must-watch movie on this list. The best part of the movie is the live-action and cartoonish animation that will keep the child hooked till the very end. The film is about how health, hygiene and the immune system are interrelated. The story revolves around an out-of-shape dad who does not care about his health while his daughter keeps trying to change his ways. The story begins when Frank’s body is exposed to a contagious, deadly germ after he eats a hardboiled egg that fell on the ground after he gets in a wrist fight with a chimpanzee for it! It’s an entertaining watch with educational value to it. By the movie’s end, viewers will be aware of the importance of hygiene and health. Older students might be able to wrap their heads around various body parts and systems. The movie features an excellent cast, including Bill Murray and Chris Rock. This has to be on your classroom screening list.

Targeted Age/Grade: Ideal for elementary and middle school kids.
