    Gently positive messages about sticking up for yourself in relationships.

    Obvious TV tie-in.

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Fantasia

Parents need to know that we're getting less American Idol winner and more grit this time around. This means just a little more spice, innuendo, and attitude, and a few instances of the "N" word. The phrase "wifebeaters and chains" is used to describe clothing, not behavior, on "Hood Boy."

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about what it means to have a crush on someone and what type of boy or girl they're most likely to fall for. They can also discuss how girls' bodies change -- and how guys react to those changes -- as they get older. Fantasia's songs also address big feelings by describing little moments in time. Kids and parents can try their hand at writing songs or poems that do the same.

    Great Movie

    I really liked this movie when I was a kid. My favorite part is when the hippos are dancing.
