The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984)
Kermit and company come to New York City to mount their musical on Broadway, where they soon learn it’s tougher to find backers than they had anticipated. The film is “filled with goofy humor and puns that appeal to kids,” says Levy, and contains “lots of slapstick violence and physical comedy.”
Babe (1995)
A piglet bucks his lot and fights to become a sheep dog—er, sheep swine. “A younger kid can enjoy the whimsy of it and the lovableness of the main character,” says Schwartz. “But it’s a surprisingly deep, emotional and intelligent film.”
The Iron Giant (1999)
Hogarth, a lonely nine-year-old boy, befriends a giant alien robot that a paranoid government agent wants to destroy in Brad Bird’s first animated feature. “It really has staying power—a work of the imagination about friendship and major life concerns,” says Schwartz. “Once we’re in this age group, you can use the word classic in the sense of a story you can go back to over and over again.”
Finding Nemo (2003)
With apologies to that bauble in Titanic, this visually stunning, laugh-out-loud film’s father-son relationship (a clown fish with a bum fin struggles to make peace with his worrywart dad) is the real heart of the ocean. The tender movie manages to portray even the most mundane objects —a sink’s drain, a tank filter—as rife with excitement, mystery and possibility.
Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005)
Wallace and his loyal dog, Gromit, set out to discover who—or what—is raiding village gardens, threatening to ruin the annual growing contest. “The Claymation is simply mind-boggling,” says Levy, who digs the “wonderful inventions, great cast, charming characters and countless puns.”Books | Movies | Music | Theater | Television | Toys
