Charlie and the Chocolate factory

Since the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, have parents known what a good movie it is to show kids?

We watched the new version as a family the other night. We've been trying to make Trevor listen to us, and it's been more of a challenge than normal. But, after watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, things have gotten easier.

In this movie, bad things happen to kids who don't listen. One fell into a Chocolate River and got sucked up into a big tube. Another turned into a blueberry, another fell into a trash bin, and another got shrunk. It seems the idea of not listening and turning into a blueberry is the most alarming to Trevor. If he's not listening, we tell him, "You're not listening to your parents." It's this phrase that seems to be the key for him...especially the part about the parents. Then, we remind him what CAN happen to kids who don't listen. They COULD turn into blueberries. He starts listening. Not all the time, but more than before Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. And, it's not like we're being dishonest. It COULD happen in some alternate universe.
