My preschooler loves animated movies and lately she has really been into planes. We do live right next to an international airport and she goes through these phases of being really into something for a little while. That only meant that it was perfect timing to show her the movie Wings. We watched it together on one of our Friday movie nights when Daddy was out of town. She was literally in a trance and watched the whole thing without saying anything. If you knew my daughter you would know this is a miracle as she loves to talk and sing and not be still during movies. She told me it was “so awesome I just had to focus on it.” It was high flying action that both boys and girls can enjoy.
