I’m taking the girls to see Megamind this morning.

It looks pretty good. So what’s your favourite ‘kids’ film then?
I know you like to pretend you’re all growed up and appreciate only the finest film noir and stuff, but sometimes you just can’t beat the Curse of the Wier-rabbit (my personal favourite) 😉

You’re recommendations please. As some might turn up on DVD from Santa

Spirited Away for me, though I am happy to watch any Studio Ghibli films…

Ice Age because the opening sequence is like a textbook of perfect animation. Action/reaction, facial expressions, ‘legs start running before body catches up’, falling from great heights and the corollaries thereof. Plus it’s funny as ****.

mlpinto +1 most of the Ghiblis are wonderful

Lion King

Spirited away is great, but I think I’m going to go with The Dark Crystal, an oldie but a goodie.

Wall-E. Wonderful film and I think the best of all the pixar movies.

After that, gotta be jungle book. The good test is that the kids love those both also.

Kev

Monsters Inc for me, especially the short film ‘Mike’s New Car’

From the classics, Jungle Book.

Of the modern stuff. Coraline; quite disturbing but brilliant.

With real actors; Nannie McPhee and the Big Bang. Emma Thompson and Maggie Gyllenhaal. Mmmmmm….

Goonies.
The princess bride.

My Neighbour Totoro

Almost all Ghibli films

Wall-E

Wall-e

Spiderwick Chronicles

Toy Story

The studio ghibli films are good, gotta love fantasia as well though

from my youth…….The goonies
From Adulthood……Toy Story

short curcuit

Goonies…….C’mon you guuuuuuuys!!!!

The Goonies, Buggsy Malone and Space Camp – classics!

Bridge to Terabithia is a great film.

And definately Goonies. Just for the ornament scene.

Spirited Away is a favourite here too. Just wonderful.

What are the other films by the same guys/studio that you’d recommend? I feel a DVD order coming on

Uncle Buck. Absolutely ace.

All the Toy story films and ‘The incredibles’, really couldn’t choose a favourite out of them.

Oh and still a sucker for bambi ( wipes away tear from eye).

What are the other films by the same guys/studio that you’d recommend? I

Princess Mononoke, Ponyo is out now but I have yet to see it.

Battle Royal. Well it’s got kids in it 😉

Totoro is my current fave, my two year old loves it.

What are the other films by the same guys/studio that you’d recommend?

All the Miyazaki Ghibli films are brilliant, you should watch them all. Totoro and Ponyo are ideal for tinies, Mononoke and Nausicaa are better for older kids due to occasional scary monsters. They’re all good though, I can happily watch any Miyazaki film over and over, haven’t got bored of them yet.

Lolita?

First Blood

BIG 😀

You cant beat Star Wars – Depends on kids ages though as younger ones might not like it.

Another favourite is the Toy Story movies. So much for the kids but there’s also some great one-liners just for the adults.

Nanny McPhee

jurrasic park

chitty chitty bang bang
Tom and Jerry – still funny now for kids and adults reminds me of my Grandad
Junglebook
Yellow Submairine
Star wars
Shrek
Scooby do – them not me there
Sound of Music – them again
Cars – whats it called with Lightning Mc Queen???
Fantasia – but they like classical music anyway

Most of the recent animation CGI stuff of late is very watchable
Princess Bride one day but they dont get it at the minute and were bored.

The whole class go to watch Watership Down when we were nine/ten. Certainly made an impression – all those stunned little faces of my classmates are still etched into my memory. You can probably get it on DVD nowadays.

Modern film would be Surfs Up.

Bugsy Malone.

I do love watching a good custard pie fight.

George and the dragon. as its the only film i can remember from when i was young.

The Incredibles. No doubt: the animation, the story, the characters all totally brilliant. Can watch it over and over again.

Toy Story trilogy 😀

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs was really good as well, way better than I thought it would be.

The Emperor’s New Groove … LLAMA!! 😀

E.T. for me the bmx chase bit still makes me want a bmx
