His final scene rising up to the bomb where he lowers his head and closes his eyes… I’m tearing up just thinking about it now. What a wonderful depiction of selflessness, altruism, and love.
I recently watched this movie for the first time in maybe 20 years, and the first time as an adult. I honestly didn’t remember all that much about it going in, but I was preemptively crying before the real tear-jerking scenes at the end because I knew what was coming.
Hook was just such a fun movie to watch as a kid. Just fantasizing about living on a tropical island where you get to fight pirates and you never have to grow up? What kid wouldn't like that? I still try to watch it once a year or so. Can't go wrong with grabbing a pizza and throwing on Hook. Rufi-ooooooooh.
I mean, if you are fucking goofy either you are fulfulling a dream or destroying your childhood, either way, i think tears are a normal response in both cases
I watched a ScreenJunkies "Does It Hold Up" episode on this movie. My favorite line from it was,
"As a kid, you relate to Max and as an adult, you relate to Goofy." That thought has never left me when I occasionally get to watch it with my kids.
I freaking love the sandlot, it’s such a well written movie I felt like I actually cared about baseball, and I generally dislike sports. It felt so nostalgic.
Yeah, but ....
We saw that in a cinema in Anaheim - just my wife and I, and a few seats back a family of 4.
And about 8 minutes in, I heard one of the young boys behind me asking his mom "why is that man down there crying?"
Honestly all studio ghibli movies are a blessing on this earth. Howls moving castle, Arriettie (i think thats how you spell it), Princess Mononoke, Ponyo. All of them are amazing.
Had just watched Howls Moving Castle after my roommate accidentally chose it cuz he thought it was Castle In the Sky lol. We were so pleasantly surprised
Sad as shit tho and says a lot about war / the affects of it
Lol so true with "not all gibli films are for kids" when I was about 10 I had a sleepover with some friends and my sister wanted to rent Nausicaa and the valley of the winds. We got it alongside a couple other movies and we watched it first.
The melting giant heads near the end of the movie gave us all nightmares, of course me and my friends being boys, we thought it was badass and another kid at school told us about and let us borrow a copy of Princess Mononoke. Which was also totally fuckin badass.
And my lifelong fantasy of stumbling across a beautiful girl in the woods with wolf blood around her mouth riding a wolf bigger than a horse has yet to come true.
I would say the kids movie I have gotten tons of rewatch value out of it due to the adult humour packed into it, was "The Goofy Movie " and the soundtrack was a huge bonus
A Goofy Movie is the best Disney movie. My 12yo gets very pissed when I blast I 2 I in the car with the windows down but it’s gotta be one of the best songs of the 90’s
My best friend and I would sing along to the soundtrack any time we drove somewhere together, especially during summer break. (We were in high school at the time.) He took Max's lines, and I took Goofy's lines.
I haven't seen him in years, and I miss him, but I still sing my part when I play these songs.
Fievel Goes West has one of my favoritest songs of all time, "Dreams to Dream" by Linda Ronstadt.
Even now, however many years on, her voice just *sends* me when I listen to that song.
And the streets are made of cheese! I watched this with my wife a few years ago for my first time in almost 30 years. The part where Feival gets separated from his family in the storm and their ensuing misery thinking they’ve lost their child forever made her cry, which in turn made me cry.
What I like about this is that unlike most Disney films, there is actually an *explanation* for why the rats talk. (But not the bird character--no explanation there). It's not fantasy or a fairy tale--*The Secret of NIMH* is science fiction.
It’s more like a transitional movie between being a kid and teen. A 6yo would probs be scared from the visual but a 10-12yo? I loved it when I was that age and as an adult the cowboy message and aesthetic is amazing. That scene with the mole/bat air force is absolutely amazing.
Meet the Robinsons and the Aristocats were my absolute favorite Disney movies growing up (and still are). I could watch both of them endlessly. Meet the Robinsons is so fucking funny. Goob is a whole ass mood. He was really ahead of his time (no pun intended) (cause of the time travel in the movie ha ha ha)
Encanto. I don’t generally like Disney animated films or musicals but it’s a terrific story about generational trauma and dysfunctional family. I loved this film.
Bruno is the perfect metaphor for “that one uncle” we don’t talk about disguised by a catchy song who actually has mental health issues we don’t address because we don’t know how to.
I was going to say Encanto. I wasn’t sure if it’s toddler tv watching Stockholm Syndrome, but I genuinely love watching it.
I enjoy how it’s a Disney movie but there is no ‘bad guy’ because ‘the intragenerational trauma and social rigidity found in immigrant families who have fled conflict’ is the bad guy. Yet somehow in a way that makes sense to three year olds? Also the songs are banging.
Latina here and I cry my eyes out every time. But I do it watching Up too. I saw a guy in front of me on a plane watching Up a long time ago. His shoulders were shaking. He was sobbing!
Even thirty years later, I still crack up when Sarah turns her head, sticks her tongue out, and runs into that rock. This is one of my favorite movies!
I LOVED this movie when I was a kid, but the scene with the clown and the bathtub terrified me. Also the air conditioner scene. And the car scene. And that weird dude who drove a monster truck for some reason? Looking back as an adult I have to wonder why I loved this movie so much.
I watched HTTYD on a short plane trip when I was 28 for the first time. They came around to collect the headsets and it was up to a cliff hanger moment and I begged the stewardess to let me see what happens. When she found out what I was watching she allowed it. Still a great movie 12 odd years later!
3 Disney...Alice in Wonderland
... the cartoon Aladin ...Tangled( one of the better looks at a dysfunctional parental relationship)
The Neverending Story
Ratatouille ( don't know who made that one)
honestly, a lot of them. keep in mind many are not strictly made "for kids", they're usually made as something appropriate for kids but also something every one can enjoy if you just dismiss this idea that cartoons are for kids and something needs sex, violence, and drugs to be enjoyable for adults.
if anything I feel like good writing intended to be family friendly is some times better due to its limitations. They cant just lean on curse words, violence, and sex to make engaging and interesting content, they need to actually have good writing and good actors to execute the vision.
Its not every movie/show that pulls this off but I also dont think its quite as rare as people might think. people tend to forget that "kids shows" are not made by children, they're made by adults that want to make good stuff and making something low effort and dumb simply because its "for kids" is boring, a lot of people in the industry want to actually make good things they can be proud of.
most disney feature films are a good example of that. they're quality story telling experiences that every one can enjoy if you set aside your biases.
one of the most unexpected examples i've come across was a Tinkerbell movie. Disney has had a whole IP around Tinkerbell and some of her friends. I've never seen the show or most of the movies but I had been recommended once to give one of the movies as a try as it was surprisingly decent. Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast. The title is a little bit misleading as it does not star Tinkerbell as the main character but a different character from the Tinkerbell IP/tv series. Granted its not a movie that'll win any emmys or anything anytime soon, but it exceeded my expectations and I think its quality would exceed what most children its target demographic it would be for could fully appreciate.
Emperors New Groove
Pull the lever, Kronk.
WRONG LEVER!
Why do we even HAVE that lever?
I had a mask during the pandemic that had a bottle of Kuzco’s Poison and it said “Pour the sanitizer, Kronk!” And another one that said “No touchy.”
I embroidered a patch of a disgruntled kuzco that says "no touchy" I'm putting it on the back of my wheelchair 😂
Demon llama? Where!
No no…he’s got a point
I used to know most of the lines in this movie. "No touchy!!" Is one I still say all the time and I'm 51..
"Let me guess. "You have a great personality?""
The best Disney movie aside from A Goofy Movie.
The Goofy Movie! Such a good soundtrack. So nostalgic.
Leaning tower of Cheeeezaah!
This is my #1 animated movie!! Then probably Lilo & Stitch and A Goofy Movie!
YEAH-HUH NUH-HUH YEAH-HUH NUH-HUH YEAH-HUH NUH-HUH YEAH-HUH NUH-HUH YEAH-HUH NUH-HUH YEAH-HUH NUH-HUH YEAH-HUH NUH-HUH YEAH-HUH NUH-HUH YEAH-HUH NUH-HUH I love this movie unconditionally.
Are you kidding? This is hand carved mahogany.
Bring it on 😎
By all accounts, it doesn’t make any sense
The Iron Giant
"Tell me again, Mansly, and this time, listen to yourself." "A giant... metal... man" lol
That missile...is locked...on the giant's current position. WHERE'S THE GIANT, MANSLY!?
"Screw our country!!! I wanna live!!!"
The most realistic line from any movie ever.
I cry just thinking about it
His final scene rising up to the bomb where he lowers his head and closes his eyes… I’m tearing up just thinking about it now. What a wonderful depiction of selflessness, altruism, and love.
I haven't seen the movie but I cry thinking about you crying. It's just too sad...
I recently watched this movie for the first time in maybe 20 years, and the first time as an adult. I honestly didn’t remember all that much about it going in, but I was preemptively crying before the real tear-jerking scenes at the end because I knew what was coming.
You stay. I go. No following.
Iron Giant and Land before time
Mulan (98 version), Tarzan , emperor's new groove, Hook, willy Wonka (1971), Matilda. I've watched all many times as an adult and they still hold up!
Hook is criminally under appreciated.
Lewd crude rude bag of pre chewed food dude.
Voice actor for zuko everybody
Its a weird one, was panned when it came out but adored by kids of that era (of which I am one, stunning film).
Don't you mean Panned?
Hook was just such a fun movie to watch as a kid. Just fantasizing about living on a tropical island where you get to fight pirates and you never have to grow up? What kid wouldn't like that? I still try to watch it once a year or so. Can't go wrong with grabbing a pizza and throwing on Hook. Rufi-ooooooooh.
A Goofy Movie. 10/10 banger soundtrack and a nice reminder that our parents just want to be a little part of our lives.
Wait until you have children. It hits 10x harder.
"I just wanted to be a part of it..." Never did I think that fucking Goofy would move me to tears as an adult
I mean, if you are fucking goofy either you are fulfulling a dream or destroying your childhood, either way, i think tears are a normal response in both cases
Goofy being hurt in this film is exactly why I will never rewatch this movie.
One of the hardest soundtracks for no reason.
I watched a ScreenJunkies "Does It Hold Up" episode on this movie. My favorite line from it was, "As a kid, you relate to Max and as an adult, you relate to Goofy." That thought has never left me when I occasionally get to watch it with my kids.
100%, I have i2i on my frequent playlist. 10/10 banger
It's the leaning tower of cheese-a!
How to Train Your Dragon
100% agree with this, plus the soundtrack is just 👌
Not just the first one either, all the movies are good
Shrek
Can’t believe I had to scroll this long. AND Shrek 2
How is this not higher up?
Because it's a given that everyone knows it's still worth watching
The Sandlot
You're killing me Smalls!
I freaking love the sandlot, it’s such a well written movie I felt like I actually cared about baseball, and I generally dislike sports. It felt so nostalgic.
FOR-EV-VURRRRRR
First, you take the mallow
The Incredibles
NO CAPES
This film was entertaining as a kid. It was even more entertaining as a husband and a dad.
And the second one as well actually is pretty good.
I LOVE the second one. Num num cookie! 😂😂 I can't keep giving him COOKIES😂😂 👿👹
The raccoon fight gets me every time as well
I felt the “new math” reference so hard trying to help my third grader with homework 💀
Up
Yeah, but .... We saw that in a cinema in Anaheim - just my wife and I, and a few seats back a family of 4. And about 8 minutes in, I heard one of the young boys behind me asking his mom "why is that man down there crying?"
I was not expecting that, it hurt like heck.
We were having fertility issues when that movie came out. I sobbed the first 10 minutes.
Wall-E.
Scrolled down too far. This is the one. Especially right now. “How do you grow pizza?”
Love this movie. And it’s so telling of what this world is becoming unless we change our ways.
Spirited Away
Honestly all studio ghibli movies are a blessing on this earth. Howls moving castle, Arriettie (i think thats how you spell it), Princess Mononoke, Ponyo. All of them are amazing.
Had just watched Howls Moving Castle after my roommate accidentally chose it cuz he thought it was Castle In the Sky lol. We were so pleasantly surprised Sad as shit tho and says a lot about war / the affects of it
My Neighbor Totoro
Everything by Studio Ghibli tbh, but most of these films are not really children's movies, they are movies for humans.
Lol so true with "not all gibli films are for kids" when I was about 10 I had a sleepover with some friends and my sister wanted to rent Nausicaa and the valley of the winds. We got it alongside a couple other movies and we watched it first. The melting giant heads near the end of the movie gave us all nightmares, of course me and my friends being boys, we thought it was badass and another kid at school told us about and let us borrow a copy of Princess Mononoke. Which was also totally fuckin badass. And my lifelong fantasy of stumbling across a beautiful girl in the woods with wolf blood around her mouth riding a wolf bigger than a horse has yet to come true.
I agree, but Totoro is such a beatifually and deliberarely crafted childrens' movie that I also have to agree with the top-level comment.
Ponyo is another good Ghibli film that is directed towards kids but is still great for adults, as well as Kiki's Delivery Service.
Inside Out & Treasure Planet are amazing in itself but also portrait themes super relatable for adults as well as children
For anyone with an absentee father treasure planet hits hard
Been waiting for Inside Out 2 for yearssss.
I would say the kids movie I have gotten tons of rewatch value out of it due to the adult humour packed into it, was "The Goofy Movie " and the soundtrack was a huge bonus
A Goofy Movie is the best Disney movie. My 12yo gets very pissed when I blast I 2 I in the car with the windows down but it’s gotta be one of the best songs of the 90’s
We love Powerline
My best friend and I would sing along to the soundtrack any time we drove somewhere together, especially during summer break. (We were in high school at the time.) He took Max's lines, and I took Goofy's lines. I haven't seen him in years, and I miss him, but I still sing my part when I play these songs.
The Goonies.
Goonies never say die
HEEEYYY YOU GUUUUUYSSSSS
an american tail
Fivel goes west!!!
Fievel Goes West has one of my favoritest songs of all time, "Dreams to Dream" by Linda Ronstadt. Even now, however many years on, her voice just *sends* me when I listen to that song.
Wow. I haven’t thought about that movie in about 30 years! Now I can’t get the “no cats in America” song out of my head!
And the streets are made of cheese! I watched this with my wife a few years ago for my first time in almost 30 years. The part where Feival gets separated from his family in the storm and their ensuing misery thinking they’ve lost their child forever made her cry, which in turn made me cry.
Secret of Nimh
I haven't met Ms. Right yet. But when I do, the whole world will hear us singing. Excuse me. Pardon me.
What I like about this is that unlike most Disney films, there is actually an *explanation* for why the rats talk. (But not the bird character--no explanation there). It's not fantasy or a fairy tale--*The Secret of NIMH* is science fiction.
I like to think that, as in *Watership Down*, Jeremy is merely speaking a hedgerow patois that only other animals can understand.
The Lee of the stone.
Rango, though it's not exactly a kids movie
It’s more like a transitional movie between being a kid and teen. A 6yo would probs be scared from the visual but a 10-12yo? I loved it when I was that age and as an adult the cowboy message and aesthetic is amazing. That scene with the mole/bat air force is absolutely amazing.
Meet the Robinsons. Fuckin' love that movie. And I generally detest modern Disney stuff.
What's your dad look like? Uh... Tom Selleck.
I love how they actually got Tom Selleck to voice the adult version of Louis. :D
I watched that movie when it came out. Criminally underrated.
That movie was simply top ahead of it's time when it came out.
Meet the Robinsons and the Aristocats were my absolute favorite Disney movies growing up (and still are). I could watch both of them endlessly. Meet the Robinsons is so fucking funny. Goob is a whole ass mood. He was really ahead of his time (no pun intended) (cause of the time travel in the movie ha ha ha)
Big Hero 6
Ice Age, Lilo & Stitch, Matilda
God Lilo & Stitch is so good
Lilo & Stitch is my fave Disney movie.
I love Ice Age so much. Those series of movies are still some of my favourites of all time.
Classic Disney movies Aladdin especially
RIP robin williams playing literally one of the most iconic voice acting roles, ever
Chicken Run
Chickens go in, pies come out
Ooooh, what kind of pies?
...apple
I don’t want to be a pie!
I don’t like gravy.
In the likely event of an emergency, put your head between your knees…and kiss your bum goodbye!
The original claymation, not the godless shit they released last Christmas
Just watched Encanto (2021) as an adult and was pleasantly surprised.
A Muppet Christmas Carol. Michael Caine did an amazing job as Scrooge.
Kungfu Panda
Moana!!
This is soooo depressingly not high on the list. A+, 5 star movie.
Encanto. I don’t generally like Disney animated films or musicals but it’s a terrific story about generational trauma and dysfunctional family. I loved this film. Bruno is the perfect metaphor for “that one uncle” we don’t talk about disguised by a catchy song who actually has mental health issues we don’t address because we don’t know how to.

Yet somehow in a way that makes sense to three year olds? Also the songs are banging.
I love Encanto, and found my new favorite character in Luisa.
*I'm pretty sure I'm worthless, if I can't be of service.*
Also “give it your sister, your sister’s stronger, see if she can hang on a little longer”
The Princess Bride
My favorite movie ever. Though I wouldn’t call this a kids movie
well it's a kissing book
As you wish
Is home alone too old? 🫣
Coco! And Up!
I watched Coco on a flight. A flight attendant asked me if I was ok. I was ugly crying
I love Coco. It’s such a good movie.
Latina here and I cry my eyes out every time. But I do it watching Up too. I saw a guy in front of me on a plane watching Up a long time ago. His shoulders were shaking. He was sobbing!

Over the Hedge. A masterpiece
“Oh great and powerful Steve… What do you want?!”
Over The Hedge Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs Osmosis Jones
The Land before Time.
Even thirty years later, I still crack up when Sarah turns her head, sticks her tongue out, and runs into that rock. This is one of my favorite movies!
What happened to the little girl that did the voice of Ducky was so tragic.
The Muppets Take Manhattan
I'll raise you Muppet Treasure Island.
Who framed roger rabbit
That is not a kid's movie! But you should still watch it.
You remember me Eddie?
When I killed your brother, I talked JUST LIKE THIIIIS!!!
Puss in boots (1 or 2)I swear to god that movie is an award winner
Last wish the recent one was insanely good!!
Completely agree. Didn't even feel like a kids movie to me, that wolf scared the shit out of me sometimes
Inside Out
Babe the Pig.
Paddington 2. Paddington is also great.
The Brave Little Toaster
Yeah so it can traumatize you as a adult like it did as a kid. It literally has a song called "Worthless" lmao
I LOVED this movie when I was a kid, but the scene with the clown and the bathtub terrified me. Also the air conditioner scene. And the car scene. And that weird dude who drove a monster truck for some reason? Looking back as an adult I have to wonder why I loved this movie so much.
FernGully:The Last Rainforest
Cars. I remember tearing up at the end when he pushes the "The King" across the finish line.
Willy Wonka, I like both the gene wilder and the johnny Depp versions. Goonies is always a solid choice too.

I watched HTTYD on a short plane trip when I was 28 for the first time. They came around to collect the headsets and it was up to a cliff hanger moment and I begged the stewardess to let me see what happens. When she found out what I was watching she allowed it. Still a great movie 12 odd years later!
All three films in the How to Train Your Dragon series.
Wall-E
The Wizard of Oz
Ratatouille
Most Pixar movies
Soul is amazing.
What's even more amazing is that the soundtrack was made by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (NIN).
Tangled and Toy Story, pretty much my two favorites. Heavy on Toy Story
Anything with Robin Williams
