What Parents Need to Know

About Unstable Fables: Goldilocks and the 3 Bears

Parents need to know that this modern retelling of the classic Goldilocks story handily knocks the stuffing out of any "glamour" associated with reality TV. It's a useful starting point for discussion with star-struck kids about the perils of fame and celebrity.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the changes that take place in the Bear family once they're on television. Do you think you'd like to participate in a reality show? What do you think the good things would be about celebrity? The bad things? Talk about how the agent and film crew influence the "impromptu" storyline -- do you think that really happens?

    I rate this title on for age 2 and give it 5.0
    My concerns are:
    • Excessive consumerism

    Hilarious for EVERYBODY!!!

    Ok so I know I am 13 and this is kind of pathetic, but this was an AMAZING movie. It was hilarious and I watched it with my best friend as a joke, but we ended up loving it! It's great for any age, and if 2 teenagers found it funny, then EVERYONE will find it funny. Only there is a lot of consumerism. MyCave, Simon Owl, etc... But I don't really care. WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!
