I disagree. Bratling is 5 and she loved Fantasia, so much so she voluntarily put the Fantasia II on (which isn't as good but she liked it....).

She loves Shrek, and Tim Burton's Nightmare before Christmas, which I thought was going to be too scary for her, but she actually liked it and had more bad dreams about ET.

It would be interesting to note who amongst us recommending Kids films actually goes to the cinema with the kids to watch them. Harry Potter (saw it yesterday) was brilliant - for pedants, it's very close to the book, although some things have to be condensed, For parents, there are a lot of things going on that will go over the heads of children who are only interested in the main action. Keep watching the walls.... that's all I can say... The special effects are great and there are so many well known actors and actresses in it that gel so well together, that you keep looking out for who's next. For kids - it's very like the book, it's funny, Harry is cute and the girl isn't the token bimbo (although she is going the way of the token know it all - pity no-one can hit the middle mark....) and it isn't overly American. It kept Phoebe entranced for nearly an hour - and that is a bloody miracle! Even then, regardless of her being a fidget, she stayed watching the film, despite it being over 2 hours, and talked about it quite intelligently on the way to Pizza Hut. I defy most grown-ups to talk intelligently about a film they have just seen 20 minutes afterwards!

And the Secret Garden film that came out a few years ago was shite!
