The movie also has some good moral lessons you can pass along to your kids. Percy Patterson is struggling with failing ratings and afraid he may lose his job as nature TV program host. He is considering trying to falsify the appearance of a yeti, just to get big ratings and save his career. However, his faithful producer, Brenda, is a voice of reason and integrity and won’t let him do it. Eventually, Percy learns some lessons and comes to see that Brenda was right all along, and that some things are more important than career success.
Another moral dilemma troubles Migo, the main character. When he discovers the Smallfoot, he’s forced to consider that the laws and rules that he’s grown up with in his yeti community may not actually be true and right. For the first time, he questions everything he’s ever been told and brought up to believe, and he receives some resistance for that. Migo has to decide whether or not to question authority when he finds out that authority has been deceiving him, or if he should just do as he is told, even though he knows it’s not right. There are a lot of good talking points for parents and children in this movie for sure.
All in all, my family gave this movie two thumbs way up. I definitely suggest you go see it if your family that likes to see movies in theaters, and if not you’ll want to get it when it becomes available to watch on streaming or DVD.
Did your family go see the Smallfoot movie this past weekend? What did you think?
