ACCM review

This review of the movie contains the following information:

A synopsis of the story

After receiving a mountain of fan mail, Pinkfong (voice of Colleen O’Shaughnessey) and her friend, Hogi (dialogue voice of Cassandra Lee Morris and singing voice of Jessica Rau), decide to put on a live concert for all their fans in Wonderville. As they begin to practice, many of their friends join in with ideas and songs of their own that they would like to include. As the fans gather for the concert, they are treated to a variety of musical performances and dance moves but they also see the challenges of putting together such a production, with behind the scenes flashbacks to disagreements and problems the performers have had to overcome. The audience will see the group come together to problem solve and encourage each other, especially when one of the performers develops a bad case of stage fright. The musical extravaganza isn’t quite what Pinkfong and Hogi had planned; instead it is something much better.

Themesinfo

Children and adolescents may react adversely at different ages to themes of crime, suicide, drug and alcohol dependence, death, serious illness, family breakdown, death or separation from a parent, animal distress or cruelty to animals, children as victims, natural disasters and racism. Occasionally reviews may also signal themes that some parents may simply wish to know about.

Jealousy; Disagreeing with your friends; Stage fright.

Use of violenceinfo

Research shows that children are at risk of learning that violence is an acceptable means of conflict resolution when violence is glamourised, performed by an attractive hero, successful, has few real life consequences, is set in a comic context and / or is mostly perpetrated by male characters with female victims, or by one race against another.

Repeated exposure to violent content can reinforce the message that violence is an acceptable means of conflict resolution. Repeated exposure also increases the risks that children will become desensitised to the use of violence in real life or develop an exaggerated view about the prevalence and likelihood of violence in their own world.

There is some violence in this movie, including:

  • A row of birds bang into each other and they all drop their musical instruments.
  • Pinkfong hits one of her friends on the head with a drumstick and her friend runs off crying.
