10 Kids Movies That Have a Deeper Meaning (MovieWeb)

"Many movies with a focused child demographic understand that children will not be the only ones seeing these projects. Their families will also be sitting through the film. So, many movies also create plot lines that can help start important discussions with children or create a secondary meaning that the teenagers and adults may be in on that the kids will only grow to understand years later. Plenty of exciting children's movies excel at developing stories appropriate for kids, but that can trigger questions leading to valuable conversations. While plenty of these movies have a fairly obvious meaning to them, they can still showcase a deeper meaning beyond the surface of whatever the basic plot line is. Some involve devastating subplots; adding these plot lines to children's movies adds more substance to the story, while also giving the kids something to subconsciously think about while simultaneously enjoying the bright colors and characters offered on-screen." - movieweb.com
