    Movies for kids that don't suck

    I'm slowly compiling a list of movies that my kid likes and I can tolerate or enjoy to some extent. If you're also a relatively new parent, feel free to suggest a couple.

    Ratatouille

    How to Tame Your Dragon (1 & 2)

    Finding Nemo.
    Monsters Inc
    Toy Story 1, 2, 3
    Despicable Me (which the kids love)
    The Emperor's New Groove (had me rolling on the floor)
    Kung Fu Panda
    Wreck It Ralph
    Tangled
    Mulan (I have watched a million times)
    Wall-E
    Brave
    Up
    Shrek
    Cars
    Turbo
    The Croods
    Shark Tale
    Madagascar

    Obvious favourites (for girls)

    101 Dalmations
    Tarzan
    Beauty and the Beast

      Forgot to mention the one that I really enjoyed but the kids didn't get into yet .. Titan AE, Flushed Away, Chicken Run, 9, Caroline, Megamind and Hotel Translyvania ...

      As for TV Series - Star Wars - Clone Wars is where it is at

                Miyazaki - Spirited Away was awesome for me, but some of the characters may be a little too scary for the little one.

                I use to love bugs life when that came out.

                  Miyazaki's stuff isn't always for kids - hence why I only recommended My Neighbor Totoro. A lot of his stuff can be pretty sophisticated and adult themed.

                  I remember seeing Princess Mononoke in the theater when it first got it's North American wide release and laughing my ass off at all the parents that were herding out of the movie after the hero started decapitating his enemies with his bow and arrow. I really wish people would do some very rudimentary research about what they are seeing before going to the movie with the wrong expectations.

                    he liked "My Neighbor Totoro" so much, he watched it twice in a row . I was surprised because he hasn't seemed to like any movies older than 1995. MNT is from 1988! Pretty amazing animation given that fact. Really cool recommendation, thanks again.

                        A good work collogue of mine is a huge Miyazaki fan, he got me on to the films, and I think after watching a few Miyazaki is a genius. Just manages to capture every detail of the protagonist, so beautifully.

                        Yeah bugs life, all the way. I even watched it a few years back when it was running on TV. I think Antz was newer. I remember bugs life came out when I was pretty young-ish.

                            Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 is really cute. You don't really need to see the first one in order to follow the second one, it's recapped in the beginning.

                            Some others not mentioned that Sid really likes and we enjoy watching with her:

                            The Incredibles
                            Hercules
                            Princess and the Frog
                            Lego Movie

                            Music is the answer, to your problems. Keep on movin', till you solve them.

                              awesome - thanks Clint! I can see W learning things when he watches a good movie. I'm a very visual learner myself. He may be the same way.
