Movie Suggestions for Family Movie Night

I need some recommendations for movies that are okay for kids ages 3 1/2(girls) and 6 (boy). We have movie night once in a while and I have the hardest time picking movies that all of us will enjoy. Do you have a good, clean, movie suggestion that you can pass along, one without stuff that makes you cringe and say, "I hope they didn't pick up on that."

A few that we like are Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Cars, Curious George, and Charlotte's Web.

TIA
S.

We just recently rented Coraline which is a newer movie that is out. My 7 year old son loved it and so did I. Sound of music is always fun, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, The Neverending Story, just a few from my childhood I remember.

Since it's impractical (and just not as much fun) to preview every movie before watching it with your children, I'd encourage you to read movie reviews at http://www.pluggedin.com/movies/.

We enjoy watching the original disney movies. Aladin is one of our favorites and would definently be fine for both age groups you have. We also recently rented Monsters vs aliens which was pretty cute.

You may have already seen some of these, and some may be a lttle too old for your younger one (mine are now 5 and almost 9). Here it goes: Nemo, Monsters Inc, Shrek (1 & 2 are the best), Ice Age 1 & 2, Cars, Maddagascar (1 is best, 2 is good), Fly Me To The Moon, Bee Movie, Jungle Book, Stuart Little 2, Emperors New Groove, Kung Fu Panda, Antz, The Iron Giant, Beverly Hills Chihuahua, and Space Buddies.
Enjoy your movie nights!

My friend's husband took her 2 and 4 year old to cloudy with a chance of meatballs. She said both kids really liked it. There is also Toy Story double feature out and Where Wild Things Are starts on the 16th.

My boys and I loved "Chestnut: Hero of Central Park." It's about a dog. Super cute and very heartwarming.

We love introducing our son to the Disney movies we watched as a kid! We like Pinocchio, beauty and the Beast, Snow White (though he didn't love the "girly" stuff in Snow White). We also love finding old cartoons we used to watch. We all just head to Blockbuster and browse around the kids/family section and see if anything pops out at us.

I think "Imagine That" "Hotel for Dogs" "Bolt" & "Race to Witch Mountain" will be good for the family.
