Watch Kids' Reviews of
ABRAHAM LINCOLN

The children clearly connected to the story and asked questions about what they saw. One adult commented, "Learning was happening in front of my eyes. Kids asked about Lincoln's death, his speech, the Civil War, and slavery." Kids commented: "I learned how Lincoln was elected for president two times, that one of his kids died, and that he died." "There were too many war scenes. When I watch too much war it hurts my eyes." "It shows how much the people loved Lincoln."

Well done. One juror commented, "The animation was surprisingly appealing to me." A good biography on Lincoln covering a long time span. Familiarizes the viewer with historical figures of the times. Weaves the details of Lincoln's personal life with his public life, making him very human and real. Addresses Lincoln's respect for African Americans and his commitment to freeing them. Good supplement to history about Lincoln and the Civil War.

With his will and uncompromising stand on critical issues, Abraham Lincoln - a gangly country lawyer from Illinois with no political experience at the national level - not only saved the nation, but carved out an immortal place in world history.
