meet-the-robinsons.jpgThis weekend my boys (6 and 12 years old) and I went to see the ”Meet The Robinsons” in digital 3-D. While the movie would have been worth seeing even without the 3-D technology the added feature created a wonderful experience. However, beyond the great effects there were a couple of themes that created some profitable discussion between the boys and I. First was the point that when bad things happen to us we need to strive to let them go so not to open the door for bitterness and resentment which only hurts the one with the festering attitudes.

The second theme was a simple phrase that continued to lead one of the characters on to accomplish great things. The phrase was “Keep Moving Forward.” Regardless of what level of disappointment, discouragement, or failure in life it was a good reminder that we are to keep moving forward.
