“The time is always right to do what is right” -Martin Luther King Jr ✨✨✨
As a parent, this is something that I hope my hubby and I are able to instill in our son. It is always a good time to do what is right. It always important to stand up for what you believe in. It is always important to dream. The legacy that MLK Jr. has left behind is extraordinary.
This am we talked about who and what Martin Luther King Jr was and what he stood for. Then we headed down to the Aquarium of the Pacific to celebrate the DVD release of Surfs Up 2 Wave Mania with Sony Pictures and Sony Animation.
While getting a special experience of being inside the penguin enclosure, we learned a lot of new information about penguins. We learned that 75% of penguins are threatened or endangered. The educator at the aquarium shared that movies like Surfs Up 2 help bring education and awareness to these animals. The educator finds that with movies like Surfs Up 2 that people are more curious about what type of penguin each character is. This leads people to the aquarium and google to find out. When this happens, people stumble upon more information about these endangered species and want to do something that makes a difference. So while this may seem like a fun cartoon, it actually creates a very positive, educational campaign about penguins.
Thank you Sony Home Entertainment for an incredible day of drawing with the director Henry Yu and hanging out in the penguin enclosure. We had a blast!
