Good family films for 4/5 year olds

[Morehastelessspeed]

Any recommendations? Am hoping to find things I might enjoy like Mary Poppins or The Sound of Music. im getting a bit fed up of animated films like Toy Story, Monsters Inc etc. and would prefer nice innocent stuff if possible, even the Disney ones are often a bit scary.

If they are on Netflix, even better!

Open Season is good....it is a cartoon but it's excellent. Also the original Annie musical and Bugsy Malone.

I thought Paddington was a bit scary for a little un. Would you say it is OK for a 3 yo scaredy cat

Fifth for Totoro, my 4 year old has lived it for years. Ponyo also brilliant.

We seem to have got over the worst of the Planes 2 obsession, before that it was Wall-E.

Charlie & the chocolate factor (not Johnny depp the other one) Up- Disney but adult friendly (bring the hankies) Wallace & gromit paranormal (bit scary but holds attention) mr peaman & sherbody all popular here with 4 year old

'Inside Out' is fantastic.

I took miss 5 going on 6, and it was a very enjoyable film for everyone. There were some parts that were a bit intense and scary (with a clown the main character is scared of).. but overall it is a fantastic film for explaining complex emotions, and even talking through at the end that 'sometimes you will feel sad, but then you talk about what was making you feel sad and then you have a hug and you start to feel better, then you feel happy'. It explains that emotions are a journey, but talking things through and sharing them with your family is what makes you happiest.
