Fresh out in theaters is the new animated family movie When Marnie Was There from Studio Ghibli. This movie is about a young foster girl spends her summer in a sleepy town by the sea. Anna dreams her days away and shuts herself off from others around her. Then she meets Marnie, who accepts her for who she is. As the story progresses and the friendship grows, it seems Marnie has closer ties to the protagonist than expected.
Moviegoers who are interested in redemptive and family entertainment are seeing the fruit of their support and patronage of uplifting, inspirational films for all ages. They are learning the power of their influence as they share their support for redemptive movies and television programs on social media and by visiting their sites on IMDb (Internet Movie Database). Further, consumers are learning to express their opinions about ads they find inappropriate online for movies, television programs, and other products by actively using online ad feedback tools.
