Films of The Noughties

The Noughties was the era for film series and sequels - Harry Potter ruled supreme, along with films such as the Spiderman movies, The Pirates of the Caribbean films, Transformers 1 and 2, and the Lord of The Rings movies. The majority of them allowed escapism in film - people could feel like they were becoming heroes, and a cult of fans would form for each; most recognisably the Harry Potter Generation, all of who just wanted to go to Hogwarts (I am most definitely part of this group.)

The highest grossing film of the decade came at the end of the era - James Cameron's Avatar was a breakthrough in cinematic technology and was absolutely captivating to watch.

Television was brilliant in the noughties too - Cartoon Network and Disney Channel reigned supreme, and so powerful role models for children to follow included Dexter of Dexter's Laboratory, and Raven Baxter of That's So Raven. That's So Raven tackled issues such as racism and weight issues in the fashion industry, and it's a shame they don't show it any more as it was really inspiring.
