All-time Fav Kids Fims & Shows
A movie list to feed your children. These movies address kids as clever human beings, sending messages of life, death, love and worlds beyond. These movies are good not because they are beautiful or have the coolest CGI images, but because they have great stories with embedded messages that are multifaceted and universal. Some of them might need parents' supervision. An ongoing list, randomly ordered.
