Positive Films
Moivieguide founder and publisher Ted Baehr believes that viewers still opt for films that promote positivity. He said, “It’s so encouraging to see that families are continuing to vote with their dollars… they’re choosing to watch content that promotes forgiveness, self-sacrifice, teamwork, redemption, and more positive attributes.”
