Favorite Kids' Flicks

rivercrow · 05-15-2007, 03:46 PM

I just discovered "Nanny McPhee," which has joined my list of favorite kids' flicks. The story's good, the acting's good, and the sets are beautiful. I absolutely love the colors in the house, and Sdalek wouldn't mind if I painted a room that way. (Seems like a lot of work--distressing and all that.)

I'm also very fond of "Finding Nemo," the Harry Potter series, "The Witches," "A Little Princess," and "Amelie." (Does "Amelie" count as a kids' flick? Maybe it's not.)

Anyone got other favorites?

The Incredibles. Well done, and entertaining.

Ice Age!!!
SCRAT RULES ALL!!

I recently watched Cars and that's not in the league. Toy Story used to be a fav as did Monsters Inc.

Sometimes it's the best of both worlds. Hidden meaning for your brain, slap stick incase your feeling evil and SIMPLE stories incase your tired.

- That movie's on my top ten list, regardless of the viewer's age. It's simply an excellent movie in concept and in implementation. some others
- Hoodwinked
- Shrek
- The Iron Giant
- Beauty & the Beast
- Toy Story 1 & 2
- The Princess Bride

Movies I'm sort of ashamed to admit I enjoyed at some level:
- The Parent Trap (remake)
- The Princess Diaries
- High School Musical
- Big

I love ALL of these, except I haven't seen Nanny McPhee. My sister-in-law recommended it, and it's on our Netflix list. Amelie is probably not appropriate for children but it has that childlike vibe to it. Doubleplusgood!

I LOVE almost anything by Hayao Miyazaki, but especially My Neighbor Totoro. Kiki's Delivery Service is a close second. Spirited Away is interesting but loses its center I think.

The BBC did a series of animated Beatrix Potter stories which are fantastic.

Star Wars, yes, pretty much a kid's movie.

Finally (for now), I'm not above Disney movies.

Fantasia and Alice in Wonderland are two of the best.

The Princess Bride is a kids' movie? That's our unofficial youth group flick.

Babe pwns all kids movies of the last 15 years.

The Iron Giant comes close though.

It's a kids' movie that adults can enjoy too.

Ooh, good choices.

You're a little biased when it comes to Babe, though, since you're in it.
