Movies for Kids

Maybe what came into your mind on what movies to show your kid are mostly Disney movies, am I right? Well yeah, I too am a fan of Disney movies! Who isn't anyway? My personal favorite is The Lion King, I remember having a copy of this in VHS. Lol I feel so old saying that. But there are other movies that are not from Disney that are also great for our little ones! I know that we know these movies, but we didn't know that these movies aren't actually from Disney. Here you go!

This movie would teach your little ones to love books. And to stand up for what's right and not be afraid of it, and be a strong person. I just love this movie even though Miss Trunchbull really scared the shake out of me!

I remember watching this movie with my younger sister. I loved it! It shows you to believe in yourself even if there are only a few people who does, or even if there's none, because else will. And also, to respect everyone else around us. As what Dr. Seuss said in the movie, "A person's a person no matter how small".

My husband's niece and nephew's fave when they were younger! It teaches us to respect our surroundings, the nature. I personally think this is a must-see for the kids today, because they would surely learn a lot! Especially giving importance to our trees.

Another favorite, which I yearly watch whenever Christmas is coming! It simply reminds you to love your family, be a good boy/girl, but no matter what your family is always, always there for you.

My brother let me watch this one. I love Johnny Depp but not much a fan of this before I watched it because Depp doesn't look that cute! Lol! But when I saw it, I loved it! It's a nice reminder for us to be contented with what we have.

Honestly it took me ages to finally finish this movie! I mean I've watched it before but I never got the chance to finish it. Hehe! I didn't think it was interesting enough. But, when I got the chance to watch it again just this month (hihi), I think it was a really great movie. Even though it's kind of a love story, I think kids would still enjoy and would also learn a lesson or two, specifically on not doing what others want you to do. I'm not saying that kids should not be obedient, but just be what you want to be because you want it not because you're told to be. And of course, because of Hugh Dancy <3. Hehe

Ah the movie that made me cry when I was younger because E.T.'s going back to space! Yes, I cried to this movie. For me, this movie taught me that we can be friends with anyone. That someone could love us even if we're different from each other which I truly believe in.

Another movie I used to watch during Christmas. Though this one, I don't really watch yearly. I think I already forgot how this movie goes, so I watched it again. I love it still. There are different lessons from each of the character and it would be too long if I'd write it here. So I really suggest you watch this with your little one, my little girl loved it!

Who doesn't like this movie?! Get out! Lol kidding! This is such a fun movie to watch with the kids, and the kids in this movie are sooo cute! And I remember my childhood, when my friends and I used to have our own 'club'.

My little girl love this movie! I think mostly because of the colors, and the singing. This movie is really colorful and the kids would surely love it. I've shown this to my little girl when she wasn't a year old yet, and from then on she loved it. I do, too!

At first I actually thought this wasn't good. But it surprisingly was! Just like The Lorax, it would teach the kids to respect nature. And it also teaches that it doesn't matter if you're small or big, or just different as long as you believe in yourself that you could do it, then everything else just follows.

I love this movie because of Jesse Eisenberg (hehe), and my little girl loves it because of birds. Lol! But it's more than that. This movie shows what really is happening to the exotic animals around the world that are being sold illegally. And it also shows to not be afraid, and believe in yourself.

I honestly thought this was a Disney movie. But it's not. And I love it! It was really funny and teaches us about the life in the earlier times.

Well, this gotta be the last but it definitely is not the least. Hehe! Where my husband got my little girl's name, from Neil Gaiman's book that turned into this movie, Coraline. I honestly think this is pretty dark for kids 7 years of age and below. But there are lessons you could learn from this like being contented with what you have, loving your parents, and so on. And plus, the animation on this one is reaaaallyy great!

There you go! There are actually a lot more movies to show your kids that are not just from Disney and are great, but here are some of it. ;) I've watched all of it and they are all great. If you're going to let your little one watch these movies, it's best to be with them when watching so that you could explain it to them, and there are definitely gonna be a lot of questions through out the movie! Haha!
