Movie Reviews of Madeline: Meet Me in Paris
Movie Review: Negative and incorrect portrayal of science
Summary: 1 Stars
I cannot give this DVD a positive review because of its negative and incorrect portrayal of science in the episode "Madeline at the Eiffel Tower." First of all, science is portrayed as a subject to be avoided, especially for girls. Although the narrator says of the girls, "But they loved science most of all", the narrator is apparently being sarcastic since the girls are shown sleeping, bored, or otherwise not paying attention. When their teacher Miss Clavel tells them to wake up, they sigh with disappointment. And the next-door neighbor Pepito says, "Girls are terrible at science."
Second, Miss Clavel's knowledge of science is flawed. She notes, "Velocity is the rate of speed." When Madeline and another girl drop a bowling ball and a feather off the balcony, Miss Clavel states, "The heavier object will land first." Finally, Miss Clavel says, "Gravity means what goes up must come down." All these statements are incorrect.
While the episode is often amusing and fun (I especially like the song "What Would Paris Be Without the Eiffel Tower"), and tries to teach the lesson of not accepting "dares", I cannot recommend the episode. While some readers may object that I'm taking a children's DVD too seriously, surely an equally entertaining episode could have been produced which portrays science positively and correctly.
