My kids don’t like to watch cartoons or movie explicitly made for kids. What are some good movies targeted toward adults that kids can watch?

        I cannot for the life of me understand the love for this movie. But the love for it spans generations so assume I’m the one in the wrong, but I just don’t see it.

          I love this movie so much, but I get it. I feel like you have to have seen it at a certain age in order to really feel it.

            Alright, that may be fair. I didn’t see it till I was in my mid 30s. And I will fight to the death with sticks, anybody who doesn’t like hook. So, I get it, but I don’t get it.

              I like Hook too. I think I was 8 or 9 when it came out and it was amazing to me. My friend who is just a couple of years older didn’t like it because his younger siblings fucked that up for him by playing it on repeat.

              It helps if you watch it over and over, until the tape wears out.

        The Everending Story

        Is that a short movie about a kid finishing reading a book about a hero completing his quest?

        Watched that for the first time while really high in college, and the horse sinking in the swamp really fucked me up lol. I’ve had no desire to revisit it, personally :/

        Kids and animals dying really ruin media for me
