Cars - 2006
Lightning McQueen is a great example of learning from your mistakes. His character matures a lot in this movie.
There is no death in this movie. It is great for kids who understand fantasy vs reality but not death.
This movie is a great way to introduce romantic love to children. Sally is a good example of a romantic interest.
Tinker Bell - 2008
A big problem with this movie is the sexualization of Tinker Bell. Her dress is extremely short. Clank and Bobble also compliment her.
This movie is perfect for little kids. Tinker Bell learns from her mistakes and she uses her skills to help people.
The animation is perfect and very unlikely to cause nightmares. There is very little fear and danger in this movie.
Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure- 2009
Even though Tinker Bell apologizes for being mean to Terrance and not appreciating his help, it should still be made clear that she was in the wrong.
This movie only slightly scary (the rats at the end). It could cause anxiety for kids who don't like being away from home.
The scene where Tinker Bell wishes for Blaze to be quiet is also very upsetting. Kids should be told that Blaze did nothing wrong.
Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue - 2010
It should be made clear that Lizzie should never have captured Tinker Bell in the first place. She never learns this as a lesson.
This movie is a bit scary at times. The scene where the cat is chasing the fairies and when they get caught in a water fall are very tense.
A great lesson that is learned is to never go snooping where it isn't safe. Tinker Bell is taken and Vidia has to live with the guilt.
Tangled - 2010
Rapunzel is very easily fooled, so this is a good movie for teaching kids lessons like stranger danger.
This movie is perfect for kids just learning about romantic love. The only problem is that Flynn is not a good love interest. This should be made clear to kids.
It can also be used as a way to teach kids that not all adults are to be trusted, importance of socializing, and the value of nature.
Secret of the Wings - 2012
Tinker Bell can also be very selfish. Her machine ends up causing a frost in summer because she wanted her sister to meet her friends.
This movie can be a bit confusing. It doesn't make sense how the fairies of different seasons can mix. Real seasons don't mix.
This movie also introduces magic (other than the pixie dust). Tinker Bell's wing magically heals when lined up with Periwinkle's.
Frozen - 2013
This movie is a great way to introduce the concept of death to children. Especially the death of a parent.
Anna and Elsa's parents die at sea, leaving Elsa to rule Arendelle on her own. Anna also dies twice (she is revived both times).
There is a lot of magic; so, the kids would have to understand the difference between fantasy and reality before watching this.
The Pirate Fairy - 2014
Zarina is very selfish in this movie and she never properly apologizes for everything she did.
This movie can be a little scary at times. The pirates and their swords almost kill the fairies a lot. The singing is also annoying.
It can also be upsetting to see Rosetta abandon the baby crocodile that imprinted on her when it was born.
Inside Out - 2015
There is mild danger; and, Sadness can be very trouble-prone. This could make kids under 5 frustrated or scared. It can also be used as a learning moment.
This movie is perfect for introducing kids to death (Bing Bong). It also helps kids to understand their emotions and why they happen.
The animation can be very overstimulating. The bright colors and arguing can get you a little anxious.
Trolls: The Beat Goes On - 2018-2019
The animation can be very overstimulating and there is a lot of flashing lights. There is also mild nudity (naked trolls butts).
This show is good for kids who understand fantasy vs reality. It is a good way to learn right from wrong. Each episode is a lesson.
You also need to understand social cues like sarcasm to watch this. Or it can be used as a way of teaching social cues.
