Default movies you loved when you were a child

i was thinking of movies to watch with my daughter while she's sick. (she's feeling better) and our 2 sons.

i always remember the disney movies. she loves all the princesses, mermaids, and so on.

i was remembering last night about a few unknown movies. Rockadoodle was really good, but we never see it anymore.

fern gully

a little princess- the version with brilliant Indian colors, not the shirley temple one

i'll remember more later.

Ferngully was one of my favorites, and I liked Rockadoodle quite a bit, too! Like everyone else I know around my age, I also had a major thing for The Mighty Ducks (and numbers 2 & 3). And The Little Giants. But even more than the sports movies, I absolutely loved fantasy movies like Flight of Dragons and The Last Unicorn.

Those are the ones off the top of my head.

I'm going to vote for The Last Unicorn, too. Fantastic movie!

Has she seen "How to Train Your Dragon" yet? I found that one a lot more charming than I expected to. Some parts might be a little alarming for very young kids (some dragons look a little scarier than others), but it's overall pretty sweet.

If you can find "The Phantom Tollbooth," it still holds up even though it's over 40 (indeed, a lot of things over 40 still look great ).

How old are the children?
When I was five I loved cartoons.
Casper the Friendly Ghost was my favorite.

I also liked Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
And Pinochio. And Bambi.

Goonies. However, that might not be age appropriate, but I still love it.

they are 6,7, and 10. 1 girl, 2 boys.

seen almost all of those too, and loved them!

none of our kids have seen how to train your dragon yet. i'm sure they want to.

i watched parts of mary poppins with them. she really loves music. she'll sing songs by memory all the time.

i've had part of a rockadoodle song in my head, but i can't ever sing something outloud out of my head. same with drawing. i can sing and draw, but not without the words/pic in front of me. that's such a great talent to have.

over the summer i watched lots of cartoons i loved when i was a kid with my daughter. i'm a late 80's/90's child. so whinnie the pooh, rainbow brite, smurfs, care bears, my little pony, strawberry short cake. (still my fav. kind of cake.) they have newer versions of some shows or play the old ones on the 'hub' and 'boomerang' channels.

I loved the Studio Ghibli films, like Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, and Spirited Away.
Nightmare Before Christmas was also one of my favorites, and Iron Giant too.

Haha, one of my favorite things about babysitting is rewatching my old favorites.

Just about anything by Disney when I was a kid - in the Jurassic Era. EXCEPT Old Yeller - I was scarred for life by that movie I swear. Love Mary Poopins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang too
