The 50 greatest children’s films of all time

Hm, ... nearly (or no?) movies from the European continent? >> bad!

There do exist a ton of French, Czech and Danish very good movies.

Despite all Nostalgia: I question a lot of stuff here!

Yellow Submarine is not good for 0-5 - has to many sad parts
(later on: very good)

James and the Giant Peach is not good for 0-5 I think,
(later on: very good)

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
is too much an attack on all senses for my tastes

For 5-8 old

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - ehm too nostalgic,
I guess too boring for children of today

I prefer the old Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory of that time

For 8-12

The Sound of Music

Uh, please, this really is too dated for today's children


Spirited Away

I'd propose this more for 12-14 (and onwards)

In case there is someone interested in good movies for children,
I could give some examples here

I do but it's more for 12 and above

A very good movie for 4-8

Lauras Stern // Laura's Star
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura%27s_Star

A French production

The Fox and the Child
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fox_and_the_Child
(Attention, there are a ton of similar titles that are other movies)

would be suitable for 6 upwards, but it has some scary scenes
when the girl is lost by night in the forest. I think from 8 upwards
possible. The movie is less kitschy as the trailer looks and has brillant photography.
It does educate children

- to pay attention to what nature has to offer
- about the fact that You see the more the calmer You are
- and trying to tame a wild animal as a pet so You can keep it at home is a bad idea


Good home cinema is rewarding with this movie!
