jaceyc12This site is dedicated to taking movies and making them understandable to English Language Learners. The guide for The Incredibles includes summaries of the plots, descriptions of all of the characters, and discussion questions you could use with ELLs. Most importantly, though, the guides have extensive lists of dialogue from the movie and explain their cultural references, implied meaning, or connotation. They take words, phrases, metaphors, idioms, etc. that a non-native English speaker wouldn't understand and describe each one and it's meaning. The only downside is the selection of kid's movies is minimal.
