La Leyenda de La Llorona

I was unsure of the movie at first but I quickly changed my mind. This movie was great both my 6 year old and 3 year were glued to the TV. I too enjoyed it. This movie is all in Spanish but it is subtitled in English. The subtitles were a little quick for my 6 year old so I read them to her during the important parts. I would compare this movie to a really good Scooby-Doo like movie. In the beginning it seemed a little dark for kids but it was fine in the end.

I'm always looking for films to show in my Spanish 1 and 2 class. This was great! I loved that it was made in Mexico and since it was for kids the language was pretty basic. The only downside is that one of the main characters has an annoying voice but my students were willing to "suffer" for the chance to have a movie day. lol

A great movie to show to middle school Spanish students. I showed it to 8th graders the day before Día los muertos and they loved it. The story line is engaging and the animations are colorful. It comes with English subtitles, so the students could read the parts they couldn't understand. Fun for all ages!

I really enjoyed this. I am a Spanish teacher, and bought this to use if I need something for a sub unexpectedly. I sure am glad I previewed it. I sat down to watch this with my children (ages 5 and 6) and the first thing that pops up is a preview for a mature movie with explicit words in subtitles at the bottom of the screen. My little kids couldn't read it, and their Spanish is limited mostly to what the see in Dora an Diego, so they couldn't understand, but a class of high school kids...I could have gotten fired.The previews go on to show naked people rolling around on each other.The movie was very cute and appropriate for kids. It introduces some Mexican culture in a fun way. The previews, however, caused me to give this a review of only 3 stars. Great movie. Awful previews.

I thought this movie would have more of the traditional story of the llorona. Instead it's more about the wacky adventures of these cartoon characters. I had hoped to use it for my Spanish classes as we learned about the llorona, and based on previous reviews, thought it would be good. However, not only is it not the traditional story as I have heard it from other sources, but the cartoon characters are so annoying I could barely get through previewing it, let alone listen to it twice in a day for my Spanish classes. BTW, the previews mentioned earlier as inappropriate must have been removed because mine has no previews at all.

This is a good movie to share the legend of La Llorona and it also highlights other legends in Mexico and places. It was a little silly with all the added characters and the voices are a little annoying. Otherwise, good

This classic is a fun and entertaining way to share cross-cultural kid stories with the children in your home, classroom or library. As the parent of a culturally mixed family (US Anglo and Mexican), we love having this funMexican child's legend in our home collection. My daughter absolutely loves it!

I want to my grandkids know about our Mexican stories, is something I hear when I was little girl. I like it!
