A cat politely sat on the flaming gardener.
I think, I'm just looking for sympathy.
Actually, if I had any point at all (and I'm not really sure if I did) it was just that what may be OK for one kid may not be for another. I't didn't affect me watching that film as a kid, but it may do others. Now I hate it because I think it is horrible misogynistic and seems to consist of scene after scene of men beating women, but I only noticed that when i watched it a few years ago.
Any roald dahl stuff like willy wonka and the chocolate factory, witches, danny the champion of the world etc.
Lion, the witch and the wardrobe. Watership down. Home alone. Shrek. Toy story.
But not horrid henry. He might like it but it would drive you nuts. Even more than home alone would.

I regularly have my godson round who is four and the only thing he wants to see is Cars, my least favourite Pixar film. Re-watching that one has become like Chinese water torture for me. I can't wait for him to get to an age where he will want to watch something else and when I can watch more grown up stuff with him. I tried Monsters Inc, but he found that slightly too scary. And it didn't feature any cars.

I LOVED that film.
I hate it when it comes on because I tell myself I've watched it dozens of times and I've got better things to do. Always end up watching it though

Oliver and The King and I are two of my favourite musicals (along with Bugsy Malone and West Side Story)

I kind of know all the children's classics as I was a kid myself. Was looking for recommendations for more recent films really

Why? He can still enjoy half of those films, despite their age. Why don't you just admit, you're more after something for yourself!
3 people on this thread still love Flight of the Navigator and they're not aged 6

How about Tangled? Rapunzel's a horrible typically American teenager, but the animals are great

The films I was going to recommend off the top of my head have all been mentioned, but I guess it's useful to have a second vote IYSWIM, so:-
Spirited Away,
The Last Unicorn,
The Red Balloon,
Flight of the Navigator.
Also -
Alice (Švankmajer)
Fantastic Planet
Kirikou and the Sorceress

But the old ones are awesome. Bar the pixar stuff most kids films today seem to be pretty crap.
Happy Feet is alright.

Well if you haven't seen Flight of the Navigator, then why not that one? It's a good family film, no violence, no scary stuff, just good fun

Horton Hears a Who? Not seen it but it's a Dr Seuss so it can't be too horrendous.

Another mention for Flight of the Navigator
Maybe you should do a poll OU out of the films that have got the most mentions

oh, and any involving dogs/huskies/Alaska, getting lost in the wilderness normally make for good viewing as well

I love sharing the films I watched as a kid with little ones.
How about Babe? Mouse Trap (I think that's the one, the one with the mouse and Lee Evans)?
