Do you want to show your kids a fun, well-written movie that emphasizes the importance of conservation but won't have them climbing cliffs to save eagles? We have some recommendations for movies and other content below!
Movies
Happy Feet (2006): This is a Disney movie that centers on penguins learning to dance. It has good environmental themes and consistent writing.
WALL-E (2008): This is a Pixar movie about a trash-cleaning robot on Earth about 3000 years in the future. This is a classic.
Oceans (2009): This is a Disneynature movie about oceans and wildlife.
TV Shows
Planet Earth and Planet Earth II (BBC): These original series is one of the first big nature shows. The follow-up is incredibly similar, but has better visuals.
Bill Nye the Science Guy (Disney): This is the single kid's science show to watch. Nye presents scientific content in a clear, understandable, and fun way.
Wild Kratts: This PBS original is a show about animals in their natural environments. It's not the best, but vintage Animal Planet is vintage for a reason.
Books
Owl Moon (1987): This book is about a family experience in owl hunting, and is an iconic example of illustration.Â
The Lorax (1971): This is a classic Suessian tale about the perils of industrialization and that somebody needs to speak for the trees.Â
