As I say, these movies are some of the masterclass that tell more about life and people rather than simple child comedy banter....
I still remember watching " UP" as a child and it had fascinated me, made me understand so much about human relationships , grief, happiness and so many things...
"COCO" is the same, it also portrays such beautiful and important life lessons with such a good story and with that fantastic music combination.. haha love both movies so much!!!!
What movies did you watch in your younger days that made you forget everything???
and morbius
Oh is that so??
What does it teach to children??
the importance of morbing
"Morbing" referring to meme of morbius right??
"Morbing" referring to meme of morbius right??
On a serious note, I believe every child should watch cars, like it is such a good film with a nice message that winning isn’t everything in life or like doc Hudson says “It’s just an empty cup”
well winning is everything..
Well, I kinda don’t agree, yeah you should try very hard to win but like you shouldn’t have to sacrifice your character and morals to do so. Like yes, I am not saying that you should not strive to win but you should not need to sacrifice your values and morals
Yup, another magnificent movie!!
I think cars 1 was really so well made with such memorable characters and messages!!
A wonderful pick haha
what about the spongebob movie?
Yes the movie dives into giving the message about how morals stand above winning!!
I can still remember the last scene you know!! A sight to remember that race!!
What does it teach to children??
krabby patty
it teachs them what a good movie looks like
I know right, that last scene kinda has shaped my life a lot, during sports and in life as well. And overall the whole selfish nature of lightning McQueen at the start compared to the end…
Wow, amazing how this movie had an impact in your life!!
As you say, the character development is really good and teaches children so much haha
All the animated ones
Hmm, what is your favorite that you'd show a child without thinking twice??
Yup, walk e and a good dinosaur are a must watch too haha....
Nice taste in movies...

I appreciate it
I think spirited away is a good movie for kids too
Yup truly a wonderful movie!!
I also think ghibili movies are really great too- with their amazing art style and stories to win hearts!! Haha
Agreed
Apart from the art style, their stories contain great moral lessons that everyone including kids should know
Spirited away scares kids😭 (tho I agree it's great)
I actually watched it recently and I enjoyed it so much… I agree kids should see that movie
How?!!
I tried getting my younger siblings to watch it and couldn't finish cos they got scared😭
While some parts can be a bit too much for kids, it still has moral lessons that kids need to understand
Yess it's a good watch for them to learn things
I watched it w my czn who's 8 and he really enjoyed it
Infact he found it funny
Howl apparently is also scary when he turns into a big bird monster💔
And the parents turning into pigs too
Yeah also that part
Oh really?? What caught your attention most in the movie??
Not for kids but really a good mention is graveyard of the fireflies!!
I think adults should really watch this one!!
I haven't watched it but heard from my frnds that it is good
Yup, it is really good but warning- it will make you really emotional lol...
Does one of the siblings die?
I honestly was like pretty involved in the story itself, like the entire world and the bathhouse, and all, it was honestly kind of new compared to other animated movies…
I haven’t seen that many gibli movies so I should see more I guess
Agreed
Do you want spoiler??
I shld just watch it
Yes may man!!, tell us your favorite ones..
My favorite is up
Yup you should!!
My man!!! Hahaha
Bro said "Not for kids" then proceeded to tell the name of the movie 💀
What are you doing here?
I'm a hot takes regular too

Up is peak
I'm new
Yes the new environment is really surprisingly immersive, yes go on and watch the many movies lol you won't regret it haha!!
Cus there are adults in here too bro, i just labled it so people know it is going to be heavy- only watch when they think they are ready!!
Yes it is!! The music never leaves my mind lol
Ohhh.....Cool.
Tell us your favorites bro!!
True man sad but makes me happy
Somehow makes me appreciate life and gives me hope lol- don't know how though!!! Haha
I mean i could see it ngl the intro is sad but makes a clear lesson about life

And time
Yup!! 😆
I'd say The Incredibles, Cars, Madagascar, Puss in boots
Yup great taste!!
Death was like so cool for me lol- cooler than puss lol
Fr
Death stole the movie from Puss.... I want a sequel
Yup, haha so true
We make children watch monster
That movie??I did not have the pleasure to watch it yet!!
It's an anime with a very complex story and very realistic you should watch it
Monster!! You talking about johan liebert??
Yup
The one with Johan
Damn!! I don't think that is for children though
It will make children man very fast
Could be or make them see too much of reality and sadness in the world- create trauma for the rest of their life where they can't believe or trust any person lol
Berserk

Yah i think we should make them watch berserk
God damn dude, now you just trolling ain't you?? 😒😆
We need strong man right??
Don't worry the world is tough enough!! - when they face challenges on their own they will become strong men haha
Yah i think the world of berserk is even worse
Though I still think children should watch ankne like monster- but when they have a good mental maturity(mostly if they are adults)
I found it
It's just depressing all over lol
Let them watch star wars
Balanced
Not too much sadness
I dropped the manga
And not too much happens
Yup good pick!!
Damn
Went with vinland saga and vagabond instead... these two are like God tier lol
Trueeeee peakkkk

vinland saga is so good ngl
Yup, with the main focus on character development haha!! A masterpiece
yeah, I liked it, I'm still waiting for the next season, Ik what happens in the manga but still
We have no enemies fr
Oh, great my man!!
You will be surprised
Yup, haha we have no enemies!!
Enemies have us lol just kidding!! 😆
Lmao
Anyways good luck guys!!! Enjoy life lol
