Pretty much anyone in the animation industries recognizes the huge contribution to the craft by Miyazaki.

lol... I was about to add... Akira is definitely not for kids I still have an original DVD in shrink wrap because I love Akira so much.

Howl's moving castle is another fav of my 5 year old that I had forgotten to mention.. and a bug's life... which used to me my personal fav.... I may have watched it a million times... Ants never really compared to it for some reason. Even though the girls enjoy ants.

And yes florida.. kids are very visual learners hence we really gotta be mindful of what they watch... I used to be over the moon when my eldest was 2- 3years old and hated watching TV (it never really interested her) ..now that she's 5 she is glued.

Btw.. when your boy is older... (maybe around 7) definitely get him to watch Titan AE (2000) and Appleseed (2004) ... I never get tired of watching those 2 movies.

Thanks for this link. I haven't been keeping up with anime. The Wind Rises is such an awesome movie.

Re: Movies for kids that don't suck

So my experience with Anime is extremely limited. It's kind of a new world to me actually.... do you have any suggestions? The only cartoon movie or tv show rather that I liked was "aeon flux."

I'm glad to see some Miyazaki love in this thread! I love his movies! If you child is into adventure stories Castle In The Sky by Miyazaki is great. I'd say its along the same lines as Howls Moving Castle. How old is your kid Florida?

I really enjoy anime! Summer Wars is another enjoyable anime movie, it's similar to the premise of Digimon. It might be good for slightly older kids.

And here's one of my favorite anime movies Paprika, its not for kids though. It's a real visual and mental trip about the dream world combining with the real world. It's wildly imaginative like Miyazaki's Sprited Away.
