DP's kiddo and I like to watch movies together. If she had her way, she'd be watching barbie movies but I would rather stick a dirty needle in my eye than watch that garbage again.
Hits in our house include: Never ending story Labyrinth The lion, the witch and the wardrobe Toy story Monsters inc Any other ideas for films? |

How old is she? My daughter loves Sound of Music (she's 3). Anything with songs in it she's into it.

I'm a big fan of Aladdin, we used to watch it with our cousins when they were young.
And anything with songs is always a hit. |

She's five. Generally, musicals are a big hit but she didn't like the sound of music (too complex a plot).
I forgot about Matlida, that was awesome. |

Stardust? I seem to remember it was a great kidult movie but I saw it a while back so might pay to do a pre-view first incase there are bits that are too scary for a 5 year old. Sort of like Princess Bride.
Mind you if she watches NeverEnding Story OK she should be fine. Man those Sphinxes still give me the chills  -------------

All we watch is "Shrek". DS loves it! Have no idea why but its not bad for adult watching.
He is quite a bit younger than your DP's child but we go with the old school basics like: Lion King, Madagascar, Finding Nemo, Shrek etc. But basically if its not Shrek, he is not interested! -------------

Kids movies that I liked are;
Finding Nimo Nanny McPhee Bridge to Terabithia and I LOVE the labryth! Has she seen Wizard of Oz? I loved that movie as a kid - don't think I could stand to watch it now though - overkill! |

Oh and she LOVES Mumma Mia! If the price of tickets for the show weren't so expensive I'd take her to it. ------------- My babies: R (9),G (7), J (5) http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

ooh what about that one with Amy Adams and the guy from Grey's Anatomy? I think it's called Enchanted. Not great for adults but bearable. -------------

Animated movies I have enjoyed recently -
Bee Movie Ice Age (haven't seen the third one yet though) Bolt I actually quite like High School Musical (I love cheesey films) but probably a bit old for a 5yr old. I loved Parent Trap when I was a kid. What about Babe, ET, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (or was it Willy Wonka - the Gene Wilder one, not the Johnny Depp one), Princess Bride, The Goonies .... ------------- SJ Callum - Dec 2008 Daniel - Oct 2010 |

My kids love high school musical and hairspray and I don't mind watching them either.
Happy feet and cars are also favourites here. |

Bolt is such a good movie, DB sat thru the whole thing and didn't move... I have to admit I had a tear in my eye in one part.
Ella Enchanted is a great movie too. Another one that we watch quite often is Miss Potter.. the kids love it, not sure why... Also Camp Rock, the HSM movies too. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)
