My liberal cousins in Kalamazoo are raving about how wonderful the movie is but they themselves are clueless about nature. They’ve always been urban people and nature to them is grass more than ankle deep.
My grandmother got a little yanked at them recently for talking about environmentalism and the college educations they have. She read them the riot act and told them that despite being a high school drop out I had more real world knowledge of nature than all of them together. She explained that whe I was 10 year old I would travel miles through the fields and woods by myself and was able to name various forms of flora and fauna as well as describe their habitats and habits.
She ended by explaining that they had missed out on far more than they could ever gain because I grew up in our little rural town and they grew up in cities.
Did it contribute to any imperfection in your cousins' affections toward your person?

I believe I could enjoy the animation and storyline of this feature, but I have difficulty getting past the intended moral of the story.
Living in a sophisticated urban setting with the benefit of college education under your belt is no guarantee of any specific knowledge of nature, never mind anything else… you certainly have that right.
