There are tons of Old Movies that are excellent. It's up to the parents to show them to their children, otherwise they will only see movies from the year 2000+. Black and White and hand-drawn Animated movies are included as well. Is there a movie(s) you absolutely had to show to your kids?

My daughter is 7 and we’ve watched hundreds of films, both old and new. A few of the classics that came to mind: -
Wizard of Oz
Singing in the Rain
Mary Poppins
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Bedknobs and Broomsticks
Babes in Toyland
singin in the rain is the first thing that popped into my head. it's a new years tradition with me.
i don't know anything about kids and what they would like, but that's definitely one film i would try out on one.
That's really cool. Happy to hear it.
