If there’s a film released in 2017 that everyone (I mean literally everybody!) should see that is Wonder. This is not just a feel-good family story, but it’s an inspiring, heart-warming tale of a 10 year old boy with a disfigured face (like many in real life) who copes in his own special way with the lack of compassion of our society especially for less-than-perfect human beings. I mean who is perfect anyway?! The movie is based on RJ Palacio’s novel which I read this year and loved. The educational factor of this film is clear because ultimately the disfigurement is a metaphor for difference, inner diversity. We all need to learn that everyone is unique and has to be accepted for what he/she is. Parents in particular have the responsibility to bring up children who are mindful, sensitive and tolerant. It is not an easy task, but on-screen parents Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson are doing a great job showcasing what accepting gentle mums and dads can do in similar situations.

Disney’s Cars 3 has just been released on DVD and Blu-Ray and we are having a house party to celebrate. Cars 3 DVD will be watched over and over in my household and … not just by kids. My 11 year old son Diego has seen Cars and Cars 2 at least 1000 times.
