I would say those are for kids 8 years or older.

Simpson's movie may be a bit out of his range....

We just watched the Waterhorse, it was a good children's / family movie. The picture quality was great.

We have the gameplan. I actually liked this one to my surprise. He liked it weve watched it a couple times all together.

But the cartoon ones are ones he will sit down and watch over and over by himself and are usually the ones he brings to me.

But i loved the gameplan me and my wife actually watched it by ourselves a couple times also. We havent seen the other movies yet. I work alot lol.

How does he like the old school animated disney movies? Seen any on DVD? I know they are not out on blu-ray but will be.

What about "Happily Never After" ?

Marine Mike · 04-23-2008, 04:51 PM

I would have to say Monster House.

The Simpsons for little kids? I don't think so. Within the first 5 minutes of the film it shows male genitalia.

BigTruck24 · 04-23-2008, 04:50 PM

meet the robinsons and chicken little was the 2 i was thinking about getting. I wished bee movie was out on blu-ray but i will either wait or get in on dvd.

So if you had to pick 1 and your kid liked it...and you liked it or could at least sit thru it. Which one would you buy. Meet the robinsons or Chicken Little?

Anything thats not a cartoon i dont think he is ready for yet. To catch his attention...I'm 27 and i still watch alot of cartoons ha.

I am also interested in waterhorse i hear good things about that 1.

Meet the Robinsons

Appleseed

ground chuck · 04-23-2008, 05:01 PM

bridge to terabitha is good too.

iNCREDiPiNOY · 04-23-2008, 05:02 PM

Are We There Yet? & Daddy Day Camp is good.

beowulf is not for children

rbd3000 · 04-23-2008, 05:28 PM

What about Happy Feet or Surf's Up? Both of them were good and you will be able to sit through them as well.

iNCREDiPiNOY · 04-23-2008, 05:30 PM

Short Pixel?

good one, along with Surfs up,Antbully, Meet the Robinsons

Rabidhunter · 04-23-2008, 06:03 PM

Yeah, I enjoyed Meet the Robinsons. Also The Water Horse is pretty good too.

owa · 04-23-2008, 06:25 PM

I agree with a lot of the recommendations so far.

The Water Horse is great! There are a couple of scenes that could be a little frightening to younger children but overall, it's funny, cute at times, and exciting. A pretty good mix and might work well, if you don't lose their attention in the first few minutes (i.e. before The Water Horse is born).

Bridge to Terabithia is a great family film but I don't think it would be all that interesting to a 5 year old.

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium is good and has lots of toys, bright colors through a lot of it, etc. so should do a pretty good job of keeping their attention.

Not totally sure this one is appropriate for a 5 year old but Sky High is pretty good and might keep their attention.

Maybe TMNT?

As already mentioned, a lot of the animated movies are good. I'd recommend the following.

Meet the Robinisons
Happy Feet
Surf's Up

aramis109 · 04-23-2008, 06:26 PM

OP, all the movies you mentioned I own. They have great PQ and they're all really fun to boot. My daughter turns 4 in a few months. My wife's favorite is easily Meet the Robinsons- it genuinely has some really funny moments in it, and the PQ on the T-Rex scene is out of this world. Same can be said for Chicken Little- awesome PQ and a genuinely amusing take on an old classic story.

You can't go wrong with any of those choices.

Beowulf?!? Dude, you're not allowed to offer suggestions for kids' movies any more.
