Next in the pipeline is Dumbo, Aladdin, The Lion King and Maleficient II. Cinderella, The Jungle Book and Beauty and the Beast followed all of which did extremely well too. Maleficient, a retelling of the “Mistress of All Evil”, was the first since 101 Dalmatians in 1996 and although it had many people divided on the titular character’s story and background, it was a big box office success. However, they don’t appear to have children’s movies.Disney’s live-action versions of some of their classic animated films have been very well-received recently. If you get movies from NetFlix, you can click on Genres and then Foreign Language and then Mandarin Language to see their offerings. If you are not comfortable messing with your home DVD player, consider buying a cheap travel DVD player in Chinatown that will play Chinese DVDs.
You may wish to look into this before making a purchase. However, you need to be aware that Chinese DVDs will not necessarily play in Western DVD players. We have also had success with movies we have purchased in Chinatown. The ratings on these films vary, however, and each family needs to make their own decision about the content. Some of the titles we have enjoyed include: The Road Home, Together, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Postmen in the Mountains, and Not One Less. In addition to these popular titles, we have begun to learn more about Chinese culture through film by watching movies together as a family. For instance: 花木兰 - Mulan, 狮子王 - Lion King, 阿拉丁 - Aladdin, and 美女与野兽 - Beauty and the Beast. You can also find Disney movies on, the youtube equivalent in Chinese, if you know the Chinese titles. With the contents they are already familiar with, kids can learn how to conduct conversation in Chinese and understand easily without getting lost in translation because of English subtitles. The dubbed movies all come with Mandarin Chinese conversation AND optional English subtitles, or vice versa. The kids have been watching these exact movies since they were toddlers, e.g., Finding Nemo, Toy Story, Mulan, Beauty and Beast, and more recently, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, etc. One of the secrets I have found to immersing my children in their second language is children's movies dubbed in Mandarin. This certainly applies to learning Mandarin Chinese. It's a fact that the more we achieve, the more confident we become, and the faster we can learn. Equally, it is important to let kids feel accomplished.
It is necessary to be creative when exploring ways to help kids learn a new foreign language. Teaching your child a foreign language can be difficult, particularly a language you do not speak yourself. Homeschool Chinese: Watching Movies Dubbed in Mandarin
