mtbc: maze K (white-green)
I was thinking about the children's movies that I think are actually rather good: ones that bear rewatching and are worth keeping on DVD. Those that come to my mind, such as Coraline (2009), Kiki's Delivery Service (1989) and Wall-E (2008), are all animated. When I try to think of live-action movies I've seen since having children myself I come up a bit short in terms of ones to which I'd actually be happy to pay full attention again: I can't off-hand think of anything much better than the Harry Potter movies which are okay but hardly special and entrancing. Perhaps this says more about me than it does children, but I am struck by how the children's movies I like the most are all animated.
