    Sid the Science Kid TV Review

    A Lot or a Little?

    The parents' guide to what's in this TV show.

    Stands out for and .

    What Parents Need to Know

    Parents need to know that Sid the Science Kid encourages preschoolers' curiosity about the world around them and promotes finding answers through hands-on exploration. Sid and his friends are always excited to learn new things and solve pint-size scientific mysteries like "Why are my shoes shrinking?" and "Why do bananas get mushy?" The show -- which is co-produced by The Jim Henson Company -- introduces kids to the basics of scientific study, but they'll be so busy enjoying the show's use of song, dance, and humor that they may not even realize they're learning.

    What's the Story?

    SID THE SCIENCE KID introduces kids to the basics of science through the eyes of a young boy named Sid (voiced by Drew Massey), whose insatiable curiosity about the world around him leads to discoveries of all kinds. Each day Sid and his friends tackle a new question that's sure to resonate with their young viewers; episodes have explored why snowmen melt, why leaves fall in autumn, why teeth are different shapes, and more. Under the guidance of his parents, grandmother, and caring teacher Miss Susie (Donna Kimball), Sid uses scientific techniques like observation, measurement, and data collection to discover answers to his many questions.

    Is It Any Good?

    This enjoyable educational series fills a gap in preschool programming, which has more often tended to focus on developing kids' readiness for reading and math. With Sid as their guide, kids will be inspired to ask question as a means of discovering new things, and they'll want to make observations and test their own scientific theories. The show's dual settings -- Sid's school and his home -- remind young viewers that the scientific world is all around us, waiting to be explored. With some encouragement from parents, there's no end to the educational opportunities that could be inspired by Sid's curiosity.

    And, learning aside, Sid the Science Kid is sure to be a hit with kids because it's got plenty of music, dance, and all-around good fun. Preschoolers will enjoy aspiring comedian Sid's silly antics and the jokes that he and his friends make up (they're always related to the episode's theme). It's so entertaining that parents might find themselves drawn to watch as well -- and those who do may well learn a few things, too.

    Talk to Your Kids About ...

    • Families can talk about the kinds of things that kids like to learn about. Kids: Where do you get your information? What places can you visit to learn more? Which of the scientific methods that Sid learns about on Sid the Science Kid have you used? How do scientists use tools to help them discover things? What tools do you use?

    • Families can take the opportunity to check out local museums, zoos, and aquariums to inspire their kids' interest in the sciences.

    • How do the characters in Sid the Science Kid demonstrate curiosity and respectful communication? Why are these important character strengths?

    Top 20 dinosaur movies

    This top of the best films about dinosaurs and monsters like them includes exciting fantasy about the ancient world, spectacular horrors, and family adventure cartoons, but there is at least one reptile in each picture of the list. What could be better than watching a huge prehistoric lizard trample cities and eat humans? All problems seem so small at once. On the other hand, there are several ways to keep your young paleontologists busy for a couple of hours, and to relax yourself - so as not to become fossils ahead of time. nine0021 MovieSearch rating: 7.1
    IMDb rating: 6.4

    Starts top science fiction film dedicated to the Loch Ness monster. This mystical relative of the plesiosaur haunts people, according to legend, since the time of the Romans, and the first written mention of it dates back to the 6th century. For one and a half thousand years, scientists have not found a single evidence of the existence of a mythical creature. All photos and videos that allegedly show a monster are explained either by the movements of water, or by a giant worm more than ten meters in length (a dinosaur is better), or by floating logs or shipwrecks. In general, the scientific community does not believe in Nessie, but cryptozoologists do not leave hopes. This film is a fantasy about the origin of the famous underwater monster, in which Nessie's name is not Nessie at all, but Crusoe. nine0003

    During World War II, Angus finds an egg on the shore of a Scottish lake and hides it in a barn. Soon, Angus hatches a cute creature that looks like a mixture of a plesiosaur and a giraffe. The newborn monster is named Crusoe. Angus realizes that keeping Crusoe in the barn will not work: the cub needs space and water. So Crusoe moves to the bathroom, and then to Loch Ness. The friendship between Angus and Crusoe helps the former to survive the separation from his father, who has gone to the front, and the latter to survive. But the happiness of children and animals is of little concern to the military, for whom the dinosaur does not look like a cute pet and a kind creature. So while the young plesiosaur proves that not all giant reptiles love human flesh, people once again prove their natural cruelty and show who is the real monster in this world. nine0029 8.2

    Another six-episode from the BBC. The earliest period shown here is one hundred and fifty million years ago, the latest is again sixty-five. One of the episodes is entirely devoted to feathered dinosaurs, another to perfect late killers like Troodon, and another to giants like the prehistoric crocodile or Argentinosaurus.

    In 2012, a remake of this mini-series was released in a movie format that focuses only on predators. The best way to spend time in the company of your favorite lizards. nine0003

    Dinosaur Invasion

    Premiere: 2006
    Production: South Korea
    Genre: Horrities, fiction, militant, thriller
    Creator: PRUSION-HOUSE ("STRISEN "")
    KinoPoisk rating: 6.5
    IMDb rating: 7.1

    The recently legendary South Korean director, as it turned out, is also a bit of a paleontologist at heart. Although in fact there is no classic dinosaur in this film, but the political subtext is unambiguous. The film's opening scene, in which the US military orders a toxic substance to be poured into a river, is based on a true story, and the rest of the movie makes the Korean government look bad. nine0003

    Plot: Toxic waste in the river has led to the appearance of an aggressive monster. Outwardly, this is a mutant, similar to the bastard demogorgon and chameleon from Rapunzel. Moreover, the character of the little animal definitely went to the first. The monster devours one member of the extras after another, and then switches to the family members of the protagonist - a forty-year-old man with dementia. But Pong Joon-ho did not stop at these dramatic notes and added to the script a virus that spreads the creature, and a lobotomy that leads to unexpected consequences, and the epic throwing of a monster with a Molotov cocktail, and the Korean Katniss Everdeen. Great attraction for spectators. nine0003

    The tape was noted for two nominations for the Saturn Award (Best Young Actor and Best Foreign Language Film).

    Brendan Fraser knows how to approach extinct killers. But, apparently, the mummies have become dry for him, and now this brutal hunter in antiquity has chosen more colorful dinosaurs as rivals. To be honest, there are not so many of them in the film: there are mauisaurs (underwater creatures that seriously claim to be the largest marine reptiles in history) and giganotosauves (a predator similar to a Tirex). nine0003

    The plot of the picture is based on the work of Jules Verne and tells about the adventures of Professor Trevor Anderson and his nephew Sean in Iceland. The heroes try to find Max, Trevor's brother and Sean's father, but instead of the missing researcher, they find an underground world inhabited by prehistoric creatures and other dangerous predators.

    One of the highest-grossing films in history and one of NASA's most credible sci-fi films. And, obviously, one of the most recognizable films in this top.

    Scientists have figured out how to grow dinosaurs using genetic engineering, ancient mosquitoes and frogs. The composition of the product is questionable, but competent marketing can work wonders. For reptiles recreated in laboratories, a tourist park is created and a special group is invited to inspect it. nine0003

    The creator of the park, his two grandchildren, three scientists and a lawyer go on a road trip through the world of dinosaurs. Scientists immediately warn the adventurous creator that the resurrection of huge reptiles is a dangerous and stupid undertaking. Nature cannot be restrained by some kind of fences, especially when the park staff is not distinguished by decency. As a result, a harmless safari on a picturesque island turns into a manhunt. The best dinoattraction of cinema, which received as many as three Oscars: for the best sound, best sound editing and best special effects. nine0003

    In the sequel, it turns out that the abandoned dinosaurs did not die out in paradise conditions and successfully continue to breed. We have to go to the island again, though already to the neighboring one - the fantastic creatures decided to expand the places where they live. By the way, the first part of the adventure does not teach the human heroes anything: both women and children will again drop by for lunch at the huge reptiles. Yes, okay - the main thing is that the lizards eat. nine0003

    A lot has changed in the third installment of the franchise. First, Spielberg left. Secondly, unlike the older brothers, this film is not based on a book by American science fiction writer Michael Crichton. Third, Sam Neill returned as Alan Grant. And finally, a new villain: the tyrannosaurus was removed from its pedestal.

    There are few changes in the plot. The location of the second film is preserved, and the returned Alan Grant is sent to the wild world of dinosaurs with a research expedition. The trip is financed by parents whose son is lost somewhere on the island. So the kids will play the hunger games again. The ratings of the film have dropped significantly compared to the previous parts, but there is still something to watch. At least for a powerful fight between spino and tyrannosaurus rex, it's practically Khabib vs. McGregor in the world of reptiles. nineChris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Nick Robinson

    The Spielberg franchise has been alive for almost three decades. Five years ago, the fourth film in the universe with a title shortened by one letter was released, and the sixth Jurassic period is planned soon. By the way, while everyone is wondering if the second "Avatar" will be able to destroy Tony Stark's team at the box office, remember that "Jurassic World" takes an honorable sixth place in the top of the highest grossing cinema films. nine0003

    The creator of the park died a long time ago and handed over the company to a businessman who understands that in twenty years the dinosaurs on a secluded island have managed to get fed up with everyone. Therefore, the marketing geniuses changed the name to a shorter one, stuffed the reserve with high-tech toys and, most importantly, brought out a new kind of dinosaurs. The Indominus Rex is the superboss of his world, and he doesn't even need any artifacts to break anyone and everything in his path with ease. Such entertainment attracts tourists to the renovated park, and the lizards again prove that the resurrected ancient power cannot be kept by any progress. nine0003

    Godzilla

    Premiere: 2014
    Production: USA, Japan

    IMDb Rating: 6. 4

    If there is a movie in this top that is more famous than films from the Spielberg universe, then here it is. A crocodile-like prehistoric lizard awakened by the H-bomb tests has mutated and set off to destroy Tokyo. For the first time this kaiju, in whose name the Japanese words "whale" and "gorilla" are crossed, appeared on the screens in the 50s, and since then more than thirty films (mostly Japanese) have been shot about Godzilla. And that's not counting cartoons, comics and anime. nine0003

    The tape, which will be discussed now, opened the second American reboot of the original franchise. Many stars starred here (the 2017 sequel also features Mili Bobby Brown and Vera Farmiga; and the 2017 Kong, which also became part of the new series, generally gathered a whole team of guys from Marvel: Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson and Bree Larson), and the ratings of the film are not colored in red - so this particular film about Godzilla will be in this top. By the way, it was dedicated to the sixtieth anniversary of the first film about this ancient creature. nine0003

    Plot: A new kaiju is announced on earth who loves to feast on radiation. The monster easily destroys fighter jets, warships and any army units, while having time to gnaw on Russian nuclear missiles as a lunch. The world is powerless against this threat, but Godzilla emerges from the ocean just in time. The lizard pursues a radioactive-addicted kaiju with the express intention of once again becoming the only giant monster on the planet. But the defender of humanity will have an unpleasant surprise: his opponent will not fight alone. nine0003

    Trailer:

    Why the legendary king of monsters suddenly became a kind watchdog is not explained: perhaps the kaiju just got old and got used to homo-not-too-sapiens like a grouchy neighbor pensioner. But whatever the nature of this new-old Godzilla, his appearance in this film left even old-time fans satisfied.

    Lost world

    Release year: 2001
    Production: Great Britain, USA, Germany

    IMDb Rating: 6. 6 nine0003

    The movie is based on the novel of the same name by Arthur Conan Doyle, but there will be no Sherlock Holmes. The film was made for TV, not the big screen, and received BAFTA and Emmy nominations for Best Visual Effects and Best Sound. The plot, however, is not too original: a fanatic professor with a speaking surname Challenger wants to prove to the scientific community that there is a miracle island in the Amazon jungle where dinosaurs live. The professor recruits a team and sets off on a journey full of dangers, adventures, discoveries and, of course, prehistoric lizards. nine0003

    The highlight of the film is the visual effects. The creators used the technology that they used to create Walking with Dinosaurs, so the dinosaurs look very dignified here.

    Trailer:

    By the way, there is another film with the same name, but 2009. Will Ferrell starred in this action-adventure comedy, and it also features dinosaurs. And also time travel, super-intelligent primate and various fantastic creatures. nine0003

    Adele's Extraordinary Adventures

    Premiere: 2010 Production: France, USA
    Genre: Fantasy, Action, Detective, Adventure
    Creator: LUNE BESSON (Fifth Leione, "Fifth Leion", "Fifth", "Fifth", "Fifth", "Fifth", "Fifth". "Nikita")
    Starring: Louis Bourgoin
    MovieSearch Rating: 6.3
    IMDb Rating: 6.3

    Ambitious journalist Adele goes on an expedition to Egypt at the beginning of the 20th century. The girl is not going to write about pyramids and national cuisine: her goal is to revive the mummy of an ancient healer in order to save her sister's life. But while Adele was choking on sand and riding camels, Professor Esperandier, whose help the journalist really counted on, ended up behind bars. The government did not like the experiments of a scientist medium, which led to the birth of a real pterodactyl from a fossilized egg. The winged archosaur quickly adapted to the new living conditions and quickly realized that noisy bipeds are a great snack. In general, now, in order to revive her new long-dead friend, Adele will have to pretend to be a lawyer, a nurse, a nun and a security guard. And these are not role-playing games, but desperate attempts to organize the medium's escape from prison. nine0003

    The film is based on the comic book and Luc Besson emphasized this as well as he could. Sometimes the grotesque characters of the characters, bright costumes, make-up and saturation of the picture resemble the fabulous films of Wes Anderson, but unlike the latter, fantastic things really happen in the plot. However, this movie was compared with the works of Tim Burton, with "Indiana", "Adele", "The Mummy" and "Jurassic Park". There were even mentions of Tarantino's gangster chaos and the lyrics of Titanic. All this says only one thing: this film is like no other, and it is worth watching. nine0003

    The Land Before Time

    Premiere: 1988
    Production: USA, Ireland
    Genre: Family cartoon, drama, adventure Creator: Don Blut (“ANAMASIA”. Paradise")
    Movie Search Rating: 8
    IMDb Rating: 7.4

    One of the best cartoons about dinosaurs, which has an instructive plot, cute characters, and about ten detailed species of ancient reptiles. This tape is designed in the spirit of Walt Disney (although it had nothing to do with it): a little dinosaur's mother dies, he is cut off from other relatives and goes on a dangerous journey with friends in search of a new home. Baby Bambi comes to mind not by chance: Steven Spielberg, who participated in the creation of the cartoon and washed down his "Park" a little later, wanted "The Land Before Time" to be a prehistoric version of the famous deer story. nine0003

    Of the dinosaurs in the cartoon, there is an apatosaurus (with a long neck and a long tail), a triceratops (a three-horned rhinoceros), a saurolophus (a duck-billed one-horned and on two legs) and a stegosaurus (a long-tailed and arched spiked back). And from the air they are covered by a small charming pterodactyl. And that's just the main characters. By the way, they are all vegetarians, but the classic villain of the genre, the hungry tyrannosaurus rex, will hunt them.

    Trailer: 9002

    The second main character is the predator Patch. His relatives do not change their place of residence, but their food is actively leaving their familiar environment, so toothy reptiles will also have to starve and arrange fierce fights for every piece of meat. And this is in conditions of constant darkness and cold.

    It is difficult to call this animated encyclopedia a cartoon: the dinosaurs here look very realistic, the creators brought their behavior and appearance closer to the requirements of the popular science genre than to a children's cartoon. So the 12+ rating is quite justified: in the world of these reptiles, the strongest survive, and there is no time to suffer for the losers. nine0003

    In the third part of the saga about the mammoth Manny and his friends, the heroes have to pull the sloth Sid out of trouble again. And this time, the characters will not have to freeze: a pathologically clumsy sloth managed to get into the underworld of the jungle, inhabited by huge reptiles. And, of course, Sid is not nailed to a flock of herbivorous stegosaurs, but ends up in the paws of a female T-rex.

      A whole alternative universe is built in the cartoon: the asteroid did not fall to Earth, the dinosaurs did not die out, but on the contrary, they evolved. Many lead a farming lifestyle, building their homes and growing crops. The dinosaur Arlo suffers greatly in the shadow of the success of his brother and sister, nothing comes of the hero, and the disappointment of his parents develops serious complexes in the green long-necked. Arlo's psychological state is even more traumatized by the tragic death of his father, who sacrificed his life for his son. Feelings of guilt, accumulated aggression, fears and overwhelming anxiety are too much for one child. Therefore, Arlo finds the last one - a small caveman who steals the family's crop supplies. Trying to take revenge on the hairy monster for all the injustices of the world, Arlo gets into serious trouble and finds himself very far from home. Now his only friend is the same cave child, who will soon have a nickname - Druzhok. nine0003

      Dinosaurs have been scientifically proven to exist, but these ancient reptiles have ferocious fantasy cousins. In the last two films of the list, you can look at fire-breathing monsters, in the existence of which scientists do not believe.
