It’s summer and sometimes that means too much TV and DVDs.

But there’s an alternative to TV crap.

Check out my friend’s blog, Alternative Films for Kids, a browser’s guide to some independent films, world cinema and animations that will add welcome variety to a Disney-based diet.

Not all were produced with children in mind, but all may be enjoyed by children. If your store doesn’t carry it, ask them to order it! Quick searches should lead to online rental options.

There are recommended age ranges here, but please pre-screen for your sensitive young viewer!
