These kindergarteners are on a path to transform the world.

Wonder Woman has undeniably made waves at the box office, amassing over $263.7 million domestically after just two weekends in theaters. Families have flocked to see the film, bringing children of all genders along for the inspiring superhero journey.

But what impact has the film had on young viewers? One kindergarten educator compiled a list of observations from her classroom during the week following the movie’s premiere, which eventually captured the attention of the film’s director, who shared it on social media. This collection of anecdotes is sure to evoke laughter, tears, and perhaps a nostalgic urge to brandish your child’s Thomas the Train umbrella as a makeshift weapon.

In a tweet, the director of Wonder Woman, Lisa Thompson, expressed her delight: “My producer just sent me this… ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! This makes every hard day worth it. Thank you to whomever wrote it!!”

A Glimpse into the Classroom

For those who may not have seen it, here’s a glimpse into the list:

“I work in a kindergarten, and here are some delightful Wonder Woman moments that occurred just one week after the film’s release:

• On Monday, a boy who was previously devoted to Iron Man excitedly shared that he had requested a new Wonder Woman lunchbox from his parents.
• A little girl declared, ‘When I grow up, I want to speak hundreds of languages like Diana.’
• One girl had her parents transform her Beauty and the Beast birthday party into a Wonder Woman theme within three days.
• Seven girls played together during recess, deciding to act as Amazons, agreeing to collaborate rather than fight against evil.
• There’s a girl who will only respond if addressed as Wonder Woman.
• Another girl earnestly asked the teacher if she could swap her uniform for Wonder Woman armor because she wanted to be ready to save the world. The teacher chuckled and approved, and the following day, the girl arrived dressed as Wonder Woman—without any of the other kids batting an eye.
• During a wrap-up dance show, they requested to dress as superheroes while planning to sing a bunny-themed song.
• A boy expressed his frustration by throwing a plastic car, prompting a girl to gasp and say, ‘LIKE IN THE MOVIE.’
• A boy discarded his candy wrapper, leading a five-year-old girl to exclaim, ‘DON’T POLLUTE YOU IDIOT, THAT IS WHY THERE ARE NO MEN IN TEMYSICRA!’
• By Wednesday, one girl presented a printed list of every female superhero and their powers to help avoid disputes during recess.
• I spoke with a girl who hadn’t watched the movie, and the next day she returned to inform me, ‘You were right, Wonder Woman is way better than Frozen.’

Consider this a gentle reminder: if this film can shift the perspectives of these children in just one week, imagine the potential of the next generation when they are exposed to more empowering films like Wonder Woman.”

These accounts are truly remarkable, and similar stories are likely surfacing in homes and classrooms nationwide. It’s heartwarming to witness young girls now viewing “warrior” as an attainable trait, while boys who once might have been ridiculed for their admiration of the character can now express it openly.

We particularly love the girl who insists on being called Wonder Woman and the one who took the initiative to compile a list of female superheroes for recess. And who could forget the moment when the five-year-old girl reprimanded the boy for littering, citing the absence of men in Themyscira? Yes, young one, that’s precisely why there are no men on Themyscira!

A heartfelt thank you to Wonder Woman and to all the parents who have shared this experience with their children. The film’s success paves the way for additional female superhero narratives, significantly reshaping the media landscape for our children.
