Why Your Family Doesn’t Need to Consume Something Just Because It’s Marketed to Children
By Movieguide® Staff
Families stuck at home are desperate for content parents and children can enjoy together. It’s a trend that multiple streamers have noticed, and platforms like Netflix have devoted scads of resources to developing departments that focus on kid-friendly entertainment. The problem is, what they think is “kid-friendly” may not be appropriate for your family.
As Christians, we ourselves and our families to Biblical standards in how we live our lives, and that includes the content we consume. We understand that what we watch can begin to shape our worldview and attitudes. That’s why we at Movieguide® advocate for watching movies and television programs that promote a Christian or biblical worldview where positive attributes like honoring family, extolling forgiveness, team work, compassion, charity, kindness, and selflessness, among other virtues, are praised.
Unfortunately, much of the programs targeting children these days do not include these faith-filled elements.
For example, Variety reports that a bisexual YouTuber is creating a new show for children about an LGBTQ+ princess for a platform called pocket.watch.
According to its website, pocket.watch is “a digital-first studio building franchises for the next generation of families: a fresh, industry-disrupting approach to forging franchises for Generation Alpha. We are the only kids and family digital focused studio that delivers 7.4 BILLION views every month — and growing.
