As good as Used Cars was, it wasn’t a hit. (Neither was I Wanna Hold Your Hand or 1941). RtS was a surprise moneymaker and a lucrative one at that, thus giving him the clout he needed for so risky a project.

Don’t forget that this was Robert Zemekis’ golden ticket, giving him the opportunity to make Back to the Future.

By definition, the parent/guardian will look over the list of suggestions and make his/her own decisions. I’m not forcing them to abide my choice over My Little Pony the Movie. I’m stating that there might be a loophole in the kids’ fears, which they as parents may or may not want to consider.

And it’s so very cute and creatively done.
It’s not enough to have stories without any conflict. I’d promote stories with tense elements, but done in a manner that is otherworldly, to help raise them to become courageous.

I recommend Star Wars Episode IV:A New Hope.
Before you focus on some of the more violent scenes in that film, I think this is so otherworldly and so much of its time and place, that it can prove to be a stepping stone for them getting more courageous to handle more violent fare.
Furthermore, I would think any of the Muppet movies could also work.

1941 by Spielberg most definitely. Many Christmas gags, and a final heartwarming Christmas speech by Ned Beatty at the end of the film.
If you’ve never seen it, or have avoided due to its bad publicity, I’d encourage you to give it a try… it’s slapstick heavy, so if you’re a fan of Home Alone or Christmas Vacation you’d most likely enjoy it.

Well, obviously the time they needed was to improve the costumes, the set design, and the songs themselves. By contrast, nobody complains about a gorilla mask, a demon mask, and a walrus with a chin resembling one’s butt being part of the famous cantina sequence in Star Wars Episode IV:A New Hope.

Saw it a few years ago. You’re right… it’s terrible no matter how they spin it. I suspect they needed more time to capture the tone just right, and they rushed certain scenes, trusting that the costumes, set design and musical numbers would work.
It was a huge setback for the same director behind one of the very best Christmas Carol adaptations, the 1984 George C Scott version.
