  3. I have a few to add but I maybe dating myself. .

    The Adventures of Natty Gann, Popeye, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Flight of the Navigator. Sky High was pretty great as well.

    I see that Paranorman made this list. I watched that on my own and had so many issues with it that I still won’t let my kids watch it .

    I’m a huge fan of Dark Crystal, Secret of Nimh, and Labyrinth. I can’t wait to watch those movies with my kids.
