What are the all-time best movies / shows for kids to watch?
This Christmas, I watched the Home Alone series with my kids (6yo, 3yo, 2yo, 1yo). The movies are fantastic. They keep the kids engaged with humor, and they provide valuable lessons on family (you might think they're a pain, but they're still wonderful), independence (kids can accomplish a lot of things that adults can't and they should be encouraged to try), some seemingly bad people are good (the shovel guy/pigeon lady are scary at first but turn out to be great people in the end), and some seemingly good people are bad (the thieves dress up as cops and trick a lot of adults).
I want to find other similar movies to watch with my kids that are fun and full of great lessons. Does themotte have any recommendations?
The original Land Before Time film (all the sequels are direct to vhs garbage).
Not only is it beautifully animated and extremely well crafted, the message of the movie is an extraordinarily powerful lesson in servant leadership and duty.
Littlefoot, cast into tragedy, wants to feel sorry for himself and wallow in self pity, but is forced into a reluctant leadership position where he becomes responsible for the lives of others, and must learn a lot of hard truths about being a leader
Aaahh... I remember these from when I was a kid... my 2yo is super into dinosaurs right now, so that's likely to be a winner... thanks!
Crazy. I'm pretty sure I was telling my dad what a
brontosaurusbrachiosaurus was at age 4. Very fond memories of dad taking me to the public library and say 'pick any book you like'.More options
