Kids are 4.5 and 7
DS has requested a weekly movie night.
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
-
The Beatrix Potter Collection is a good one. They have live action at the beginning of each episode and then it goes into the Potter stories with her artwork. My kids (6 & 3) like them.
-
Evan really loves The Muppets (the 2011 one with Jason Segel), and The Muppet Movie.
-
I don't have kids, but the kid in me as been wanting to watch Homeward Bound again. It's on Netflix - I loved it as a kid.
-
Otis and Milo
Space Jam -
Mary Poppins
-
The Labyrinth for your 7 year old
-
Thanks everyone!! I will check them out!
-
Mary Poppins and the Sound of Music are the only two films my son will watch. There's also Peter Pan. I'm curious to see what others suggest since my son literally freaks out in front of animated films.
-
@lamariniere: We just watched the Robin Williams version of Peter Pan and DS loved it!
-
Buddies - I think it's Disney but not cartoon. It's about these golden retriever pups. N
-
@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.
-
What about Casper (with Nina Ricci) for Halloween?
-
What about an old silent film. Something a bit silly like Charlie Chaplan?
-
@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.
-
@Golden: The Labrynth effing TERRIFIED me as a child!
-
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.
-
DD really loves Ghostbusters. Like REALLY loves it.
We're going to try her on Beetlejuce too.
-
@BananaPancakes: Hmm, he hasn't, I hadn't even thought of that one! 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.
-
My son loved the Spy Kid movies when he was about that age.
-
@littlebug: yes!!!! Flight of the navigator! Loved that as a kid!
-
I just thought of Home Alone for when the holidays get closer. I remember watching that over and over as a kid!
-
So many great ideas!!! I have a big list now - thanks!!!!
