Being a dad, I've seen most of these films.

The first Ice Age is amazing and I love it. The rest were god awful.

I've only seen Dawn of the Dinosaurs so far and I actually enjoyed it. It's imaginative and fun. My son even laughed out loud at a couple parts which was awesome. laughing out loud

I look forward to seeing the others. The 5th one looks awful, though, Collision Course. Jesus it looks bad, and it has the worst reviews, too.

I just ordered The Lorax pretty cheap. It looks fun...



Also, does anyone know if Epic (2013) is any good?

The Dark Crystal is something every kid should enjoy, while he's young enough to not laugh at the schlockyness.

I've actually never seen that all the way through before, either. Shame on me.

I've also never seen The Neverending Story...

The Dark Crystal kind of runs the line between good Kids Movie and Nightmare Fuel.

Have you watched any of the Studio Ghibli collection?

Spirited Away.
My Neighbour Totoro
Princess Mononoke
Howl's Moving Caslte

No offence to the movies you've collected so far...it's just they all seem to follow the same feel-good formula after a while...

I've not seen those, no. But my son is only 19 months old. So they'll probably need to be pretty quickly paced and brightly colored right now to keep his interest.

But I'll look into those. Thanks.

I just re-watched The Land Before Time. Hadn't seen it since I was a kid. (I'm actually surprised I was allowed to watch it even then, because of its anti-Fundy Judeo-Christian premise). But anyway, I do remember it vaguely. Watching it now it holds up some, but the animation and facial expressions are nothing like what they do now with computer animation. But I did enjoy the old-school animation. The story is also pretty thin, but it still worked for the film.

I saw Nightmare on Elm Street as a kid. Seen this one movie where Santa massacres a kids family, who goes to a strict catholic orphanage, and becomes an axe wielding santa saying "Naughty! Naughty! You've been naughty!" Final scene is Mother Superior sitting in the dark, a young nun approaching her, and her head falls off

Compared to that, Dark Crystal is just a bit of a rollar coaster thrill ride.. And i mean, depending on the kid and the age, a little nightmare fuel could be fun, in small doses. That's when you really appreciate the stuff.

That explains a lot about you, cdtm. Haha..

I saw Aliens as a kid, and that explains a lot about my fascination with horror and sci-fi now. All I remember from the time is the dream sequence of the chest burster trying to come out of Ripley's stomach.

Ditto to this. Anything with Mayazaki is great. Don't know if it would hold a little one's attention tho.

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. thumb up


Cool man. Ya, if you didn't like Incredibles 1, Incredibles 2 is pretty identical plot-wise, so it may not be up your alley. Also, 2 has a couple of curse words in it; just a disclaimer.

Beauty in the Beast 2017 is not near as good as Disney's OG 1991 animated feature film, and yes it is hollow and soulless as they come, but I've grown to enjoy more as my daughter (and son by default haha) watched it around 200-300 times on Netflix. Really didn't like it the first time I saw it.

Yeah not talking about showing these to an infant.

Some of my fondest memories were introducing these films to my daughter when she was about 7 yrs old.
