"Help me out: Classic Family Movies for Kids Under Seven?"
I need some help. My daughter is super sensitive. She don't want no evil villains, nobody getting hurt. Basically nothing that's going to scare her even in the least. We pretty much stopped watching movies with her cause she just can't get with it. But man there are times we all really could stand to sit down and chill with a flick for an evening.
Suggestions?
Note:
She can't fuck with Nemo cause of the sharks and the humans. She actually likes the movie, but we end up just watching scenes.
I also have a two year old. He can't fuck with clowns (I don't blame him).
Right now the best thing we got is a whole grip of Dr. Seuss movies, and even some of those are iffy and they are all too short.

and the jungle book (disney version, really great songs) since you have a girl maybe alice in wonderland (animated versions) maybe aladdin? stuart little mary poppins is great polly (remake of pollyanna w/ keisha knight-pulliam) matilda (the principal is scary, but she gets it in the end) 101 dalmations lady and the tramp avatar the last airbender isn't a movie, but all the seasons are on dvd. it's just freakin awesome
i'll try to think of some more. the rest of these movies all have bad guys, but they aren't too bad. my kid is a big scaredy cat. i wanted to take him to see where the wild things are, but didn't want that kinda drama

like the cave (which is pretty cool) scenes when they are surfing on the carpet to get out. jafar is completely balanced out by the parrot, imo. i think that the bad guy in aladdin is neutralized by his sidekick, while ursula from the little mermaid just goes unchecked.
and the songs during this disney animation period were so kick ass, i think kids have a hard time not liking these movies

>But all the "story" based things will have villains - because >drama requires a protagonist and an antagonist most of the >time.
Is life so riddled with conflict that we must indoctrinate the youth to believe there will ALWAYS be someone out to get you? You don't have to answer that.
>Barney, Teletubbies ,Yo Gabba Gabba, Doug, etc are good for >small kids like that.
Uhhhh I said family. I gotta watch that shit too!!! lol.
>But even Disney has evil villains that cna be scary , >althought the villains always defeat themselves.

Everybody wants to be a cat, you know.
Mary Poppins is another one. Feed the birds, and all that. not many persons of non-Caucasian hue in that one, though.
You'd also like the Elmo 'Peter & the Wolf' and I think your kids would too... The Big Bad Wolf is a lil scary, but not too bad, and he doesn't eat the duck in this version. Plus there's the overarching theme of making music and working together to do so.
Wallace & Grommet... not the Were-Rabbit (which is great, but sort of silly-scary, probably too much so), but the shorts. You can get a DVD with the 3 main ones (A Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trousers, and the one about sheep though that's probably too scary too) and a bunch of very very silly ultra-shorts. My kids love 'em.
