Give a "Hoot"!
Following on the be-sneakered heels of eco-lite kids’ movies of the past few years, (like Ice Age:The Meltdown and Finding Nemo) is Hoot, which is coming out in May. Hoot is the story of a boy who moves from Montana to Florida and works with his friends to save some endangered owls (though the story is about more than just the owls, according to those who’ve seen advance showings).
I love watching kids’ movies (though I prefer the cartoons), so I have high hopes for this one. It’s based on a book, by Carl Hiaassen (who wrote Striptease!). It stars Logan Lerman, who seems to be a teen fave.
