This movie is actually a lesson I use in 6th grade music class. The essays our students write after this movie show that young people today (in small-town midwest communities) get the message in Perfect Harmony. I use great care and preparation in showing this movie, but the music and culture expressed throughout are worth it. Students appreciate this film, and love the ending. Disney does a good job with the trope, "can music bring people together?".
I'm also careful with the offensive word (volume button). But these hard topics create teachable moments. I'm glad to see in other IMDb reviews that this film sticks with young people for years. In fact, my 8th graders ask if they can see it again. It may be my most important lesson in the semester.
