So I'm trying to compile a collection of films for my son as he grows up (he's only 19 months at the moment). I grew up on Pinocchio, The Little Mermaid, Bambi, Land Before Time, etc.. so I do hope to get those for him at some point, but...
Those of you with kids, what are some good recommendations that your kids like? (preferably films that are also enjoyable for adults). Please post YouTube trailers if you can find them.
Here's most of the ones I've collected so far...
Megamind
Turbo
How to Train Your Dragon 1
How to Train Your Dragon 2
Dr. Suess' Horton Hears a Who!
Despicable Me 1
Despicable Me 2
Rio
Monsters vs Aliens
Ice Age
Ice Age: The Meltdown
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
Ice Age: Continental Drift
(The 5th Ice Age looks awful) Secret Life of Pets
Kung Fu Panda
Finding Nemo
Tangled
The Croods
Some of which I've seen and like, many I have not seen yet, though.
I saw the trailer for Robots and it doesn't look good, so f#ck that one.
I started watching it not expecting much. Was indifferent and didnt know what it was about. I was surprised how good it was. The art style and animation is unique and adds to the charm. As far as will kids enjoy it, I dont think younger kids will enjoy it as much as older kids and adults would. Has a few adult themes maybe not suitable for younger kids.

My girl is 4-1/2 and my boy turns 2 on February 18, Leech, so I can vouch for the picks of Megamind, Secret Life of Pets, Monsters vs Aliens, Tangled, and the Despicable Me movies (DM 3 is actually the first movie my daughter watched in the theater; she has sat through Incredibles 2 and Ralph Wrecks the Internet since then).
About to leave work, but these picks a more mainstream and might be better for when he's a bit older:
- Kubo and the Two Strings (incredible animation techniques used here)
- Ferdinand
- Sing!
- Incredibles 1 & 2
- Beauty and the Beast 2017
Thanks! I've heard of most of those, haven't seen many of them, though. I think I tried to watch Incredibles 1 and wasn't really into it, probably fell asleep before the end. My wife and i tried to watch that Beauty and the Bestiality (lol) musical and even my wife didn't like it. We turned if off after about 10 to 15 minutes.. haha. The musical nature of it was just very artificial and annoying to both of us. It was never one that I grew up on anyway.
I really like Despicable Me 1, Tangled, and I popped in some of Monsters vs Aliens the other day and it seemed amusing, so they shouldn't be torture to watch with my son when he's older.
