Childhood films

[despect]

Do you remember any of your films you used to remember watching as a child?

I used to love films like Matilda, The Witches. I loved the Roald Dahl books that turned into films just because they were always so well put together.

So do you remember any of yours?

Used to love the witches too! Must watch that again at some point.

Also I love James and the Giant Peach

Matilda is my all time favourite movie! I also loved Madeline too.

The Lion King and High School Musical

I remember The Witches and Hocus Pocus very fondly, and I would watch the Pokemon movies on repeat. But my favourite film from my childhood is probably The Brave Little Toaster. I suppose it's a little too old to have been seen by most here, but if you ever get the chance I really recommend it. I watched it again a couple of years ago, and they just don't make them like they used to. Some scenes are so traumatic, and the songs are well written, purposeful and tremendously expressive.

I can't imagine a children's film would contain a scene like this anymore.

I used to have this and FernGully on a VHS until my brother recorded over it.

This requires a minute of reflection

One minute of reflection later:

The first two Spy Kids (with the latin main characters and I'd obviously always feed a chimera of becoming their friends), the second Shrek, Stuart Little (and I'd obviously always feed a chimera of becoming a friend of the blond boy), the classic Jumanji, that one that is very similar to Jumanji but is space themed instead?, Castaway, AI Artificial Intelligence, The Little Rascals, My Girl (the one the bees kill Macaulay Culkin), Finding Nemo (obsessive unhealthy amount of it), Matilda, Home Alone 2 (look! it's the Culkin dude again!), The Ant Bully ("bought that DVD for ya, has as protagonist a boy called Lucas"), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and THOUSANDS of Brazilian movies (Auto da Compadecida, what you know as City of God, Tainá, all the ones starring Xuxa!!)

I loved Cast Away too! LUCPIX;

The movie I remember the most vividly is actually Titanic which is weird because both of these are not children's movies but I was about 10 when I saw it and I remember watching it the first time so clearly and I was obsessed with it, used to get books from the library about it. I think the adult parts probably went over my head.

I remember High School Musical too later on. And the Tigger Movie I remember seeing in cinemas. And I saw a lot more too but these are what stand out the most.
