Reacting To The Wild Robot Official Trailer With My Daughter
Can't wait to take my kids to see this.
Isn't it going to be awesome? Have you read the books with them yet?
@@kathyellendavis not yet. They're on the list.
@@briantology_reacts awesome I hope you get to read them soon. I bet they'll come out with a movie tie-in edition. We have been able to find them at used bookstores too, and are trying to get five so we can do a giveaway soon!
Correct 💯
Thanks! Glad you agree!
First kathy you know me right
I don't know, do I know you? You should get this book though it's great!
Im the dude that has all the wild robot books
I highly recommend you both check out The Wildwood Chronicles, it's basically like the American version of Narnia.
Yes I LOVE this series. The last time I read them I binged all three books in two days (which is A LOT of reading) so I haven't wanted to re-read them in a bit but I do want to read them to my oldest, so maybe this summer! I'm glad you liked them. Awesome stories and art.
I remember when I was in middle school, I used to have a struggle with reading because I was dyslexic and The Wild Robot was the first ever book I read and actually finished, so seeing this trailer made me really emotional.
I am so happy that you were able to find a book that you felt comfortable reading. Have you seen now they have a certain font that helps dyslexic people read the letters easier? It puts extra weight and thickness on the bottom and sides of the letters so it's less likely that dyslexic people will flip the letters. It's a gamechanger for sure!
@@kathyellendavis No I haven't heard of that so this is news for me! 👀
I love this trick! I might try it for Ben, since he also has ADHD, and I'm always trying to get him to read more!
I hope it works for him! So far it's working for me. I will do my flips at the end of the month! I need enough to get your new book, and a new book on Democracy. We'll see what I get!
You’re the cutest!
Thanks; I'm really hoping this works and gets me to read the ones that I already have and that, at some point, I wanted to read!
Just start reading already
Ha that's not the point of these videos; it's to simply talk about the book, because it's illegal to read copyrighted work in its entirety online if you don't own the copyright. The good news is you can find this at your library and read it however fast you'd like!
YES
We are so excited for the movie! Hoping another trailer comes out soon!
Mens lives are harder than womens......and yet somehow ur still complaining
I wish people listened...
Right? How easy would that be? I think it's so insulting that people don't listen to others, especially when they're trying to do something for them. Like, wouldn't you WANT to know what they want or don't want?
I was a massive fan of the wild robot books, but I didn’t even realise there was a third????? Welp I guess I have something to do before the film comes out
Hey don't beat yourself up! I think the first two came out not too far apart, but the third one was a few years later. It's good, we enjoyed it. I wonder if there will be more? I'm betting a movie edition will come out, at least with the movie cover, maybe one with photographs in it too. Happy reading!
@@kathyellendavis To be honest I’m mostly just excited to read the third!
@@thepenguin9807 I hope you get to read it soon and really love it!
Vickie Votes is incredibly smart about everything related to voting!
Thank you! She tries to get simple info out to voters to get them informed and to the polls. Thanks for being a fan!!
I really hope to get out to the next one!
I hope you get to come too! It will be in October, which I know is tricky with election season, but I'm going to try to do it early October so it's not in the way of the hustle and bustle of election day and holidays and end of the year. And then another one in January again, since people REALLY like to get rid of stuff then!
I have that book every single book in the seireis
That's awesome! I hope you enjoy them. Do you think there will ever be another one? I hope so!
I think its the wild robot future because at the end of the wild robot protects it says the future
@@AlvaroGarcia-ju7jy oooh that would be cool. We'll see!
Yup
HEY! I actually have a really good book suggestion for you! It called the unexplainable disappearance of mars Patel! It based on my favorite podcast and I think you should read it!
Thank you for this book rec! I am going to see if my library has them and see if I can check them out!
Ooh, I love this idea for a video. The mental health book seems like it would be good for adults to also learn about why they feel the way they do. There's a graphic novel that is along the same lines and it's 'Feelings by Manjit Thapp'. I've read some of it. It goes season by season and looks at how feelings change with each season. Example: Motivated and happy in summer. The illustrations are beautiful. You might like it.
I wish i had books like these as a kid!
Dude my week was not good. Today there were tornados at school
Oh no I'm sorry to hear that! I'm hope everyone is doing okay and there wasn't much damage. That's scary.
I was raised by hippies, surrounded by gay and trans people and I ended up extremely straight myself xD In my teens I was kinda waiting when does the bi happen. It never did.
What an upbringing! Thank you for sharing. And this just goes to show that we are who we are...no one is "turned" gay or trans by a story. Some realize they are when they see a character like them in a story and realize that it is possible for them to be their true self.
I really hope they get this right. I read the book after first seeing the trailer. I'm now re-reading the book right now before I head into the sequels.
I hope they get it right too! Happy re-reading. I'm doing a re-read soon for a video sharing similarities and differences I've seen in the trailer. I think Peter Brown is involved so that gives me hope.
💛💛💛💛✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️🦋
Thanks for the support! I feel like this is a message everyone should hear.
You groom much?
Nope, not at all. Have a good day!
Kids are SO easily influenced. I waited till the end of the video to comment because i wanted to hear the full side of your opinion..after watching the full video i still disagree with everything you have said 😢 I don’t think this stuff needs to be in kids books. Body dysphoria does not need to be glamorized, just like any other mental illness is NOT GLAMORIZED! Kids need to be protected.
Thank you for taking the time to watch the video and share your thoughts. It's important to have open discussions on topics like these.You can disagree with what I say; I can't make anyone read any of these books. I'm simply trying to correct harmful misinformation. Body dysmorphia and gender dysphoria are real and affect people. Stating that is not glamorizing it. Would you say a book with a cis kid is glamorizing being cis? Nope, it's just a cis character. If you don't want your kid to know that trans people exist, that's your choice. But they do exist and it's not harmful for them to know that. No one is "turned" trans by reading a book because you can't be "turned" trans. There are many picture books that deal with social and emotional things that kids go through. These things being in books does not glamorize them. It simply states that they happen, and it helps kids get through those difficult emotions. Not a single book here encourages every kid who reads it to be trans. They simply have trans characters in them living their lives. I have read these books to my kids and if you met my kids and I didn't tell you that, you wouldn't see some scarred kids. You'd see fun, happy, kind, empathetic kids. Implying that kids need to be protected by books with trans characters makes it seem like trans people are dangerous, which is simply not true.
Wow you did great! That looks like a lot of fun😃maybe I wil try this sport too
Thanks! It's a really fun sport. I'm going to be sharing more, including beginner tips for starting out! Google ninja gym in your area and see what you get!
stay away from the kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It seems you feel really strongly about this. Or just love exclamation points. Hey, I do too!!! I assure you I'm reading age appropriate books to my kids and any other kids I encounter, and books on topics that will make them kind, understanding, empathetic humans. Nothing to worry about! Have a good day!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woke BS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's indoctrinating !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@ladyamalthea3218I'm sorry that you think me reading books about humans is indoctrinating. I guess I'm indoctrinating my kids to be kind, understanding, empathetic humans. I'm sorry you're against that. If you are, this isn't the video for you I guess. Have a good day!
We read the book what we’re on one book of that trailer
That's great! Keep reading the series, they're fun!
Have you read Mad Honey?? I loved it so much 🏳️⚧️
I have not! I'll check it out!
I agree!
Awesome! Glad to hear it!
Also btw I love your vids!@@kathyellendavis
@@FACELESS254thank you, whether you are being sincere or sarcastic I appreciate the engagement!
Wow I agree!!!
That's great! Thanks for telling me!
As a former trans kids (now trans adult), thank you so much for this! ☺️🏳️⚧️💕
You're welcome and it makes me so happy that you found this. The mis and disinformation is extremely harmful and hurtful and I know tons of kids are growing up being taught to fear people that their parents fear just because they won't take the time to educate themselves. But I also know many people are making it a point to talk to their kids about these important topics and educate themselves if they need more info. I have friends and know kids who are trans and nonbinary, and I know all they want to do is live their best life, so anything I can do to help that from by book knowledge, I'm going to do.
Love it
Thanks! It is a fun book!
The 🤡🤡🤡🤡 Show marches on! 🥴🥴🥴🥴
It's a clown show to teach our kids to respect other people? If you can't help sexualizing characters in kids books, then stop doing that. Have a day!
SWEET! Nice comeback!!!
you’re going to hell
Hi there. Thanks for watching. I don't agree with you, and that's okay. I believe kids should learn about everyone in the community, and if they can learn about cisgender people, they can learn about transgender people. Learning about people builds empathy, which we need more of. There's a lot of hatred in the world and specifically in policies in the US towards transgender people, and it's unacceptable.
Whatever you say. I'm an atheist, by the way.
@@kathyellendavis I was talking to the original commenter.
@@isobelmiller7464ha okay! My fault; I didn't see that. I've deleted my comment back to you since it's no longer relevant. Thanks for watching!
@@kathyellendavis You're welcome
Preach!
All day everyday! People need these reminders because they're still out there spreading this misinformation.
There’s only 2 genders
You can think that all you want; and cisgender and nonbinary people exist in the world. It's not up to us to tell someone else who they are. Reading books about all kinds of people helps build empathy, which our world really needs. Check out Being You: A First Conversation About Gender. It's a kids book yes, and it does a great job talking about gender in an inclusive way.
Yes it is
Yes what is? If reading about transgender characters is grooming, then reading about cisgender characters is too and all books are grooming.
Sounds interesting.
Thanks! Is there a particular one you think you'd like to read?
Thanks! I'll have to check it out!
You're welcome! I hope you enjoy it. It's weird but delightfully so!
Thanks I’ve always been searching for a book with the same genre.
You're welcome! I hope you enjoy it! It's a bit of a weird read but I think people who like mythology and legends like that kind of stuff!
