Favorite "G-Rated" movie!!!! (Kiddie movies that even adults can love!!!)

[LynneSin]

I would have to say it's a tie - but I love both of these movies!!!

Babe and Chicken Run

Both movies had great inspiration stories (a pig who wanted to be a sheep dog/Chickens trying to escape the tyranny of a chicken farm) and were very well done (Babe was live action with talking animals, Chicken Run was Claymation).

What are your favorite "G-Rated" movies!!!

[terrya]

1. "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"

My very favorite children's movie. Wonderfully bizarre.

And no, I'm not interested in seeing the remake with Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka. :-)

[LynneSin]

4. I'm the opposite - I really am looking forward to Tim Burton's version

Personally I thought the Gene Wilder version strayed too much away from the book whereas Tim Burton wants to keep to the story line. The book always had a macabre storyline and that's what Tim Burton is all about

[MuseRider]

28. Me too.

Although I do love Gene Wilder I really look forward to Tim Burton's take on the story and Johnny Depp. Something to look forward to.

[Caution]

3. The Wizard of Oz

Anything from Pixar:
Finding Nemo
Monsters Inc
Toy Story
Toy Story II
A Bug's Life

[Magrittes Pipe]

5. My favorite G-rated movie...

...is David Lynch's The Straight Story.

[terrya]

9. I'll second this. And it's the most un-David Lynch film Lynch has made.

It has a narrative which is straightforward, simple. A beautifully told story you're not scratching your head over when it's over...unlike every other movie David Lynch has made. :-)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

6. Totoro - To-TO-ro! Totoro - To-TO-ro!!!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

7. The Iron Giant

Its got an anti-war message too!

[LynneSin]

8. I forgot about that movie - I loved that one!!!

:bounce:

You know that's Vin Diesel who was the voice of the Iron Giant!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

10. Yep - and Harry Connick Junior is the sculptor!

[LynneSin]

11. Jennifer Aniston is the mother

:bounce:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

14. Thats right - win some lose some

:)

[bleedingheart]

19. I love that one too!

[cmf]

38. I totally agree.

I love that movie!!!

[JVS]

12. Fantasia

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

13. *****************************SPIRITED AWAY*******************************

[Xithras]

31. Gave my 4 year old nightmares for a week

I enjoyed it very much, as I do all of Miyazaki's work, but Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke (the only cartoon created that's capable of turning anyone into an environmentalist) seem to be targeted at a slightly older audience. It's not as kid friendly as some of the other titles to come out of his head or studios (like Kiki's or Castle in the Sky)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

34. Or Totoro

[Richardo]

15. "The Wrong Trousers", "A Close Shave"...

Any or all of the "Wallace and Gromit" flicks....

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

20. CHEEESE GROMIT!!!!!!

[Beaverhausen]

49. Yes Yes Yes! Wallace and Gromit

those movies are great!!!

[truthspeaker]

16. "Toy Story"

And "Aladdin" was good just to hear Robin Williams vamp.

[ScreamingMeemie]

30. MrG and I still crack up over Toy Story 2...Mrs Potato Head saying..

"and your ANGRY eyes!!!" as she packed him up.

Hehehehe

[Connie_Corleone]

17. Escape From Witch Mountain

Was that rated G?

If not, then it's the Jungle Book.

[TrogL]

18. Babe's sound track

The Saint-Saens "organ" symphony without the organ. Gimme a break.

[LynneSin]

21. Mice were singing - where would they get an organ to play

:shrug:

[Tom_Foolery]

22. The Incredible Mister Limpet n/t

[nini]

23. The Goonies

I love that movie

[Tracer]

24. I would LOVE to see ...

... Disney reissue their old 1951 version of "Treasure Island".

That was a classic if there ever was one Ñ fun and exciting for kids of all ages!

[BigMcLargehuge]

25. Kiki's Delivery Service

great film. Some others that were made for kids but have enjoyable adult bits too...

Spy Kids
Cats and Dogs
Spirited Away

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

29. Ah Miyazaki San!!!

Lovin' it!

[7th_Sephiroth]

33. miyazake's works are pure art

but i dont think the young ones would like Princess Mononoke much

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

35. Tghats why I didn't suggest Mononoke - that would scare me shitless

were I a kid

[7th_Sephiroth]

37. yeah

thats why disney ran it through miramax instead of thier animation studio

[Lydia Leftcoast]

26. An obscure one (aside from those already mentioned, which are great)

"Emil and the Detectives," not the 1960s Disney version but the German version made around 1999. (It's a German children's classic, after all) Fun for adults and great for kids who don't mind reading subtitles, as a group of children pursue a thief through modern, multicultural Berlin.

By the way, I agree with the assessment of Spirited Away, but it hung on to its G rating by making an important change for American audiences. Remember the Stink Monster? Well, in the original Japanese, it's the Shit Monster, which will make sense to you if you've ever seen the film. Bathroom humor is considered totally appropriate for children in Japanese culture, judging from what I've seen on TV, but Americans are a bit more uptight about this.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

42. I had to read and translate Emil

for College German II. I didn't know they'd made a movie from the book. Funny...I can't even remember what it was about.

[Kellanved]

45. more than just one movie: at least five

1930, 1931 (USA), 1954, 1963(USA) and 2000

[Richardo]

46. I just re-read "Emil" last week after about 40 years...

My biggest surprise: It was written in 1929. When I was a 7-year-old kid I thought it was a contemporary story.

I really remembered liking it - but I must say, for me it did not really hold up to 2004. :(

Still fun to re-read, tho.

[marzipanni]

51. Interesting- the Shit Monster...

my 9-year-old son who is a great fan of Miyazaki (me, too!) will appreciate this revelation about the Monster. Not a character you would wasnt to watch if you were home from school with stomach flu!

[MuseRider]

27. Milo and Otis

was very cute.

on edit Also Harry and the Hendersons

[GoddessOfGuinness]

43. I love both of those!

"Bound and leap like a zephyr set free...Bound, and of course, leap"

[Mrs. Venation]

32. "Small Change"

a French film, is one of my all-time favorites. Also ranking way up on my list of favorites are "Finding Nemo," "Shrek," "Monsters, Inc.," "Beauty and the Beast," and "Alladin."

[Terran]

36. Er...Mary Poppins?

I love that flick!

Also:

The Wizard of Oz
Babe
The Incredible Mr. Limpet
The Seven Faces of Doctor Lao

[Nikia]

52. I think that it is a great movie too

I especially appreciate the development of Mr. Banks. Great family film.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

44. Finding Nemo is one...

Monsters Inc, Babe, Milo & Otis...

I watch more G and PG movies than anything else. In part, it's because I've got a 6 year old; but for the most part, I get tired of the obligatory sex-&-violence-sells shocker scenes in the more mature films. Ho hum...

[cedahlia]

47. "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" and "The Parent Trap"

are two of my all-time faves. I also love The Little Mermaid, The Secret of Nimh.

[Cannikin]

48. Tron and Shrek

Oh wait....I dont know if either are G rated.....

[WI_DEM]

50. Sounder

and To Kill a Mockingbird.
