I remember watching that over and over as a kid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-cartoon-movies-for-kids#post-2334965 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 05:23:10 +0000 hellobeeboston 2334965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: yes!!!! Flight of the navigator!

I'll have to add it to our list once he has recovered from Ratatouille. I don't know why he's so scared of animation. This summer he discovered Paw Patrol, but it's really one of the few animated shows he will watch. We also tried Bubble Guppies since it seems like everyone around the Bee loves them, but it scares him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-cartoon-movies-for-kids#post-2334403 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 17:47:37 +0000 loveisstrange 2334403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD really loves Ghostbusters. Like REALLY loves it.</p> <p>We're going to try her on Beetlejuce too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-cartoon-movies-for-kids#post-2334214 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 14:44:04 +0000 littlebug 2334214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of our favorites as kids was Flight of the Navigator. It's a REALLY old Disney movie, but it's great! Also, Never-ending Story! Short Circuit. The Sandlot. Angels in the Outfield. E.T. Goonies. Mary Poppins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-cartoon-movies-for-kids#post-2334207 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 14:39:16 +0000 littlebug 2334207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Golden: The Labrynth effing TERRIFIED me as a child! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-cartoon-movies-for-kids#post-2334187 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 14:28:44 +0000 BananaPancakes 2334187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: I think it's so interesting that cartoons bother him so much. I know you've mentioned it before. Has he seen Chitty Chitty Bang Bang yet? It's a favorite in our house along with Mary Poppins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-cartoon-movies-for-kids#post-2334182 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 14:24:45 +0000 hotpink 2334182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about an old silent film. Something a bit silly like Charlie Chaplan? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-cartoon-movies-for-kids#post-2334094 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 13:29:54 +0000 Golden 2334094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about Casper (with Nina Ricci) for Halloween? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-cartoon-movies-for-kids#post-2334080 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 13:26:59 +0000 lamariniere 2334080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: that may be too "advanced" for my son. We just tried watching Ratatouille this evening and he flipped out and started crying hysterically. We had to turn it off after about 10 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-cartoon-movies-for-kids#post-2334069 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 13:22:03 +0000 iluvboba637 2334069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Buddies - I think it's Disney but not cartoon. It's about these golden retriever pups.

There's also Peter Pan. I'm curious to see what others suggest since my son literally freaks out in front of animated films. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-cartoon-movies-for-kids#post-2334058 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 13:19:45 +0000 Mamaof2 2334058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone!!

They have live action at the beginning of each episode and then it goes into the Potter stories with her artwork. My kids (6 &amp; 3) like them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-cartoon-movies-for-kids#post-2333891 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 11:42:50 +0000 Mamaof2 2333891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kids are 4.5 and 7</p> <p>DS has requested a weekly movie night.</p> <p>Any thoughts on good ones that aren't cartoons? DD may or may not watch so I am trying to go more in favor of whats good for the 7yr old </p>
