7 Kids' Movies Adults Think Deserve Five Stars

Wall-E (2008)My partner and I have a long list of critically acclaimed, thought-provoking films we really feel we should watch. We created the 50-title-strong compilation about a year ago; we’re about four movies down now. Part of the problem is that after a long working week, we’ve had enough of being mentally challenged and emotionally rocked. To be honest – I wish we were different people, but hey, we usually just opt for a kiddie film on a Friday night.My earnest literature student self might be appalled at grown-up me. But at least I’m not alone. In a recent post shared to r/moviecritic, Redditor u/TheRealBaseborn asked: “What’s a kid’s movie you would say is 10/10?”. Here are some of the most-upvoted replies:1. Jumanji (1995)Credit: u/Spinz89“I’m still scared to play board games for being Jumanjied,” u/MrJJK79 added.2. Matilda (1996) Credit:u/aFireFartingDragonRedditor u/Pure-Tadpole-6634 commented, “This is one of the few movie adaptations of books that I think were perfect... [it] knew what to change and what to keep to shift to a new medium.“Matilda almost makes me wish Danny Devito quit acting to direct children’s movies for the rest of his life because it was SUCH a good film.” 3. WALL-E (2008) Credit:u/mjbutler1990u/Marswhalbaconattor chimed in to say: “It’s in my top 10 greatest movies. The commentary alone is timeless.”4. Spirited Away (2001)Credit:u/TootlesFTW“I’m 35 years old. I watched Spirited Away on HBO for the first time like a year ago and it’s my new favourite movie,” u/Awwwphuck wrote.5. Coco (2017) Credit: u/PastorBallmore“That movie destroyed me as a 39-year-old man,” u/fpaulmusic (relatably) responded.6. The Iron Giant (1999)Credit: u/Choliver1“You mean the greatest animated movie of all time? I agree,” u/Beelzebrodie said.7. The Princess Bride (1987)Credit: u/Proof_Dragonfruit795u/Boxatr0n added: “I didn’t even think of this for a ‘kids’ movie ’cause it’s fantastic for every age.
