1 2000: Mr. Simonet (Kevin Spacey) challenges his 7th graders to do something to make the world a better place to live. What has Trevor (Haley Joel Osment) decided to do, which is also the movie title?
Answer: Pay It Forward

Trevor's idea in "Pay It Forward" is that to do something to help someone they couldn't do themselves, and that person then would do something for three more people who couldn't do it themselves. And so the process would continue until everyone was helping everyone else. Trevor tries to help his friend Adam (Marc Donato), who was bullied. Sadly, Trevor is killed in the process.

I loved this movie because we should all "pay it forward". It was sad what happened to Trevor, and while there are many evil people in the world, I believe most are not.

Answer: Hagrid

I noticed that Harry, Hagrid, and Hogwarts all started with H, so I went with other H characters from the movie. Henry was made up because I ran out of H names. "Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone" was the first Harry Potter movie to come out.

Harry lives with his Uncle Vernon (Richard Griffiths) and Aunt Petunia (Fiona Shaw) because his parents died in a car accident (at least, that's what Harry is told at this point). When letters start coming in shortly before his 11th birthday, Uncle Vernon keeps destroying them. When a lot more come, he takes the family to another place to stay for a bit.

Answer: Monsters, Inc.

"Monsters, Inc." is a Pixar animated film that tells the story of James P. "Sully" Sullivan (voice of John Goodman) and Mike Wazowski (voice of Billy Crystal), monsters that live in Monstropolis. They work for the energy company, Monsters, Inc. The city is powered on the screams of children that the monsters are sent to scare in their bedrooms. It is believed that children are toxic to monsters, so anytime anything that belongs to children is brought back through the magic door that allows the monsters into the kids' room, the code is a 2319. This means that whoever the code is called on needs to be disinfected immediately. One of the times, it's a kid's sock that stuck to one of the monsters. When Mike and Sully enter the bedroom of a little girl ("Boo"), she comes back through the door with them. The controller panics and calls a 2319. They call many code 2319's throughout the film. It's hilarious every time.
