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?

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.

The Incredibles. Well done, and entertaining.

- 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. :blush:

Ooh, good choices.

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

The guy who did that movie actually does kids movies only because no one will make an animated adult film. The Iron Giant is an adult movie, and The Incredibles has some very dark undertones as well.

The ones that pop out as my favorites are:

Finding Nemo: Heartwarming, makes me want to drive two hours to hug my dad.

A Series of Unfortunate Events: Positively hilarious.

The Incredibles: The movie is real reguardless of who its meant for. It shows a real family, and does a great job of it, even down to how the powers specific to each family member mimic their personality.

Monsters Inc. : Also has an adult undertone of prejudice and an overwhelming human phobia of that which is unknown.

Mean Girls: Ya rly.

Alice In Wonderland: Just a well done quirk movie and it's still a good movie today, making it timeless.

Disney's animated Robin Hood and The Junglebook.

Shrek, Veggietales (Vischer era), Rikki Tikki Tavi.

I like lots of others, but those are the ones I could watch over and over.

I love The Princess Bride and Harvey as well, but I don't think of them as kid's movies.

(....]Labyrinth.... sexseh David Bowie.[...]
1. Labyrinth, heck yeah. :heart: David Bowie since my birth.
2. Spirited Away...
I'd really like to see Zathura and the Corpse Bride...
Suppose Pans Labyrinth is NOT a kids movie, though I thought of it at first, probably cause the main character is a kid.

Aw heck,
3. Pans Labyrinth as a kids movie, that should keep kids in check. scared straight...
