Quality Children’s Films

items Films that are low-stimulation with minimal distressing situations
A story of redemption and connection set on the moody Yorkshire mores. The ambience, the acting, the soundtrack—all of it works together to create the most beautiful rendition in film of this beloved story.
The Secret Garden (1993)
Slow-paced, quality animation, catchy and thoughtfully written songs, funny moments throughout…this is a classic.
Robin Hood (1973)
Out of the few Franklin movies, this one is our favorite. It has the vibrant and lovely style of animation that the 90s and early 00s shows had before everything became CGI-ified. This story incorporates themes of chivalry, selflessness, and friendsh...
Franklin and the Green Knight: The Movie
A classic! The music and funny animation is enough to keep tiny ones intrigued while the heartwarming storyline of a firm but kind nanny resonates with older children (and adults).
Mary Poppins - Prime Video: Movies & TV
An animated classic where nothing too scary or too dark happens, making it perfect for toddlers. Plus, the music and the beautiful Victorian home of the Darling family are two of my favorite things about this film.
Lady and the Tramp (1955)
A lovely story set in the islands of western Ireland. It incorporates Irish folklore with themes of family and acceptance. The music is beautiful and so is the scenery!
Watch The Secret of Roan Inish | Prime Video
While there are a few darker moments (the worst being the loss of a mother), it’s still a sweet movie that has some great themes in it from the importance of family to the importance of perseverance to the need for good friends. My toddler loves this...
Watch The Land Before Time
A thoughtful retelling of some of the classic Peanuts storylines all rolled into one film. The computer animation stays true enough to the original look of the illustrations. This film has a gentle feel in that its pace is nice and slow while its sto...
Watch The Peanuts Movie | Disney+
This animated version of the classic children’s book is really well done. Boys II Men do the music (which is actually quite calming), and the characters’ interactions with each other are gentle and kind.
Watch The Snowy Day | Prime Video
I was genuinely and pleasantly surprised by this movie. The storyline is solid with some important lessons, and the humor is great for little ones and adults.
