Mumsnet Talk

DD's birthday, she wanted to go to see Monte Carlo but it looks like it isn't on anywhere near us.
So looking for a DVD that they might enjoy.
She would love something like said Monte Carlo which looked like a pile of dross to mebut will take any recommendations.
I like something more magical like Nanny McPhee or The Spiderwick Chronicles etc
Suppose it's not my birthday, so will take your advice.

Hmmm, what about 'The Lizzie Mcguire Movie' for starters?

My dd is 7 and loves Stardust

yes, enjoyed that , watched that recently
Very magical

Something like 'Stardust'?

'The Wizards of Waverly Place, The Movie'

Anyone seen 'The Secret of Moonacre' or 'The Bridge to Terabithia'

'Inkheart'?

I am the only person on my own thread apart from FFFF, thanks to her

Bridge to Terebithia is heartbreaking.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Ramona

perhaps?

I like Inkheart, and Moonacre is ok, but if you've read the Little White Horse you'll find the plot infuriating. Would they watch Harry Potter?

They have seen all HPs except last, that isn't out in time is it?

I would prefer Inkheart but she seems to be going towards Selena Gomez

Might buy both, I do like the look of Ramona as well

I wouldn't let my dd watch the last Harry Potter I don't think. It scared me Night at the Museum?

'Ramona and Beezus' edging in front thank goodness
(am going to buy Inkheart as well I think)
I loved Elizabeth Goudge, Linnets and Valerians was my fave

HP scared me too
But DH watches with them
Would be too much to watch with other people's children though

Inkheart is good but the end sequence with the monster is pretty bloody terrifying - depends how sensitive they are.

Hotel for Dogs is good, I watch it with DS (but his female friends like it too)

Sorry, just realised you mean at the cinema, was thinking DVD night in.

What a numpty I am, teaches me for skimming thread, you are asking for DVD recommendations! (note to self-read the thread )

Or soemthing animated? My dd likes Spirited Away and Ponyo. Or failing that, Enchanted is always a winner.

2nd ponyo

My DDs (6 and 7) absolutely LOVED The secret of moonacre (personally I thought it looked pretty and that was it!)

Hi, I've also been racking my brains thinking of a suitable film for 12 girls to watch at my DDs 8th birthday. Between them they've pretty much seen all the popular and recent films that have come out, so I'm considering Labyrinth - the 80's movie with David Bowie. I haven't actually seen it myself, and imagine it looks a dated. But it gets rave reviews from people nostalgic about their childhood.
