Can You Help A Friend of the BFS
Their friend is suffering from cancer and they are taking care of the friend's children and they want to get films from netflix that are kid friendly (the kids range in age from 5-13). I don't have kids so I could only come up with a few off the top of my head:
The Secret Garden
The Blue Butterfly
Never Cry Wolf
Fly Away Home
Does anyone else have suggestions for them--please add them in the comments section--thank you!

"Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory", the original with Gene Wilder by Mel Stuart and David L. Wolper
Though not to knock Tim Burton, whose works with Henry Selick one would as well recommend: "The Nightmare Before Christmas", "James and the Giant Peach", "The Corpse Bride"
I always loved "Joe Versus the Volcano", a film one personally thinks is exorbitantly under-rated. After all, who wouldn't want to escape "away from the things of man"?
I hear "Old Yeller" can melt the most stolid of all ages into mere saline solution. I've never seen it. I hear the same for "The Yearling". I also haven't seen that.
"Big" was a big film in its day, but now we're back to the yonger Mr. Hanks.
I don't know how enetertaining they'd find it, but I always loved Mr. Fields' "The Bank Dick".
My twelth grade English teacher absolutely adored Blake Edwards' "The Pink Panther".
"The Hudsucker Proxy" and "O, Brother Where Art Thou" are the Coen Brothers two "family friendly" films. Perhaps "Sullivan's Travels" though that's probably a bit dated for today's youth.
Some of the older Disney films aren't bad; not to say one's a connoisseur, but some are real moody; many consider "Fantasia" their masterpiece. One likes "Dumbo" personally. Speaking of moody, just look at the roustabout scene. The battling of the bucks toward the end of "Bambi" is also some scene at which to marvel.
Pixar makes films well; blow Dreamworks out of the water. They did the Toy Story films, Finding Nemo, Monster's Inc., The Incredibles and such.
I don't have kids either.
