what is the BEST kid movie rated G you've ever seen?

[Anonymous]

The movie I most like watching with DS is Monsters Inc. Definitely going to check out Tortoro.

Agree with Totoro 100%. Watched it earlier this year with my boys (3 & 6) and we all loved it. It's a special movie.

Ratatouille is one of my favorites and it’s G, but my sensitive kid had us turn it off when we tried to watch it the first time.

Moana is great but it’s PG.

The fire monster thing in Moana is terrifying. Definitely not good for sensitive kids.

Right. That's why I said it was PG, because the OP asked for G movies.

Also I think it depends on what kind of sensitive your kid is. Some are sensitive to scary things, others are sensitive to yelling, others are sensitive to family separation.

OP, a good source is common sense media. The reviews will typically point out any potential issue, and you can decide for yourself whether or not your DC would be okay with it.

Yeah I agree. My 4 year old is sensitive to scary things and will not watch Frozen, for example. She likes the characters, but was really scared when we watched the movie; we had to turn it off.

Not the OP here but my 6 year old is very sensitive to scary movies. He's obsessed with Cars movie because it's basically the only one he can get through. Totoro is another one that was gentle enough for him.

What other G rated movies are gentle like that? He couldn't watch: Kung Fu Panda, Ratatouille, Moana, Toy Story etc

Ponyo and Kiki's Delivery Service. Shaun the Sheep movie maybe?

Another one with sensitive kids. How about Sing? Nothing scary in that.

Grateful for this post. I have a sensitive 6 year old who can't really manage anything yet. I'm going to try some of these over the break.

This is such a great thread, I’m in the same boat with my 6 year old. A few that have worked well are the parent trap w Lindsay Lohan, the adventures of Winnie the Pooh, inside out, and the incredibles (with assurances all would be ok in the end).

Angela's Christmas on netflix is darling and gentle. There is a sequel too.

Go back to the old movies - original Parent Trap, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, plus the ones I mentioned earlier, Mary Poppins and Bedknobs and Broomsticks.
