Fun family movies with absolutely no peril What. So. Ever?

[cheeseismydownfall]

Youngest DC(7) does not like any kind of peril, tension or even general unpleasantness on TV. I mean NONE. To give you an idea, Wallace and Gromit would be right out. Obviously making a 90+ min film that has an engaging plot and yet also no tension whatsoever is a challenge!

We all love comedy and romcoms fit the bill, but of course then you have the issue that they aren't engaging for children. But we had success with Groundhog Day (hah!) last night and it makes me think there must be others!

Swearing no issue at all . Humour a must.

Goes Wrong Show was well received over Christmas if that helps.

All ideas welcome!

Patrick. It’s a film about a single woman who inherits her grandma’s naughty dog.

Enough jokes for the grown up and my five year olds loved the dog.

The goes wrong team did peter pan on bbc a few christmases ago. It's on youtube.

Also have you tried studio ghibli films? They are generally very gentle. Dd adores kikis delivery service. My neighbour totoro also very peril free. Ponyo also.

My eldest is pretty sensitive to these things and hated all the Pixar kind of films. Cars 1 isn’t too bad though, but avoid Cars 2. The first film he really loved and was able to sit all the way through was My Neighbour Totoro, I got to watch it many times.
Elmo's adventures in Grouchland is pretty tame. There is a bad guy but he isn't scary and Bert and Ernie pop in to reassure the audience Elmo will win in the end.
Maybe Tom and Jerry the movie? We’ve also enjoyed Freaky Friday.

I don’t know op but happy to hear any suggestions too as mine is the same - we watched Totoro the other day which I had thought was mostly peril free but she cried when the little sister goes missing and there was definite concern over the hospitalised mum.

Groundhog Day has him killing himself multiple times! If they coped with that then Alexander and the terrible horrible...day (can't remember exact title). That's good fun.

Fantasia and skip Night on Bald Mountain and Sorcerer’s Apprentice?
Barbie movies perhaps?
You have my sympathies OP, finding movies with no peril however mild is almost impossible, so you may need to be sticking with Sarah and Duck for rather longer than you otherwise would - and then move onto silly sitcoms like Miranda. But yes there must be some very comedic but not rude romcoms and musicals out there somewhere.

There’s High School Musical but presumably the rest of you wouldn’t enjoy that. Grease and talk loudly over the sex bits? Fred and Ginger? Guys and Dolls? Hairspray is good for kids.

Parent Trap?

Parent Trap

Ghibli films for sure.

My neighbour totoro
Kikis delivery service
Ponyo
Arietty
Cat returns - you might get away with that one

High School Musical

Mary Poppins??

Amazon Prime has various Horrible History films - the Romans one and Bill, for example.

Is Paddington too much?

Shaun the sheep episodes
Wall E

Erm, I wouldn't let her watch my neighbour totoro! Gave my two nightmares.
Zootropolis? Although there is a bit at the end where they pretend to turn wild and bite each other.
Inside out - has some sad bits. Boss baby - minor peril but funny.
The greatest show - although has the fire bit.
Bolt the wonderdog
Secret life of pets - less believable because of talking animals.
I think really you have to sit and dissect the movie with her to teach her a bit of resilience though.
Moana, frozen, Disney are generally child friendly.

Boss baby
Is trolls too scary?
The muppets film is on tv tomorrow
The bee movie

Pitch Perfect?

We have exactly this issue with my 5yo. We had to abandon Paddington due to the vague threat that he might end up in an orphanage if the browns didn’t keep him! She did like Mary Poppins and Cinderella.

All other Disney have been rejected. Frozen, Moana, Lion King all have the story arch of rising tension then happy resolution and we never get past the peak before she asks to switch it off!

Mary Poppins Returns

@TheMandalorian Inside Out has loads of peril! The entire thing is tense, even I find it too emotional

I think you're down to Mary Poppins!

The Secret Garden - not wanting anyone to catch them going into the garden is about as tense as it gets?
Disney version of Alice in Wonderland - again the worst is Alice getting a bit sad a couple of times, the queen is silly rather than scary?

Hypersensitive AS member of the family can handle Wreckit Ralph 1 and 2, and Transylvania Hotel and those have plenty of jokes in for adults.

My 5yo is like this. Beauty and the Beast too scary. Current favourite is the old Disney Robin Hood. Also likes Mary Poppins Returns and the Donny Osmond movie of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat! The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Disney Sword in the Stone.
I haven’t tried her on The Parent Trap but just seen that recommended here and may give it a try, both old Hayley Mills version or newer Lindsay Lohan one.

With the Secret Garden, just be careful that one version (I don't remember which one) begins with a rather unpleasant scene of Mary fleeing the disease in India, and a doll of hers is thrown in a fire. There's also a scene where she's creeping round the house at night during a storm, and lots of scary-looking sculptures and paintings are revealed with every lightning strike.

I do agree with the suggestion of pointing out that most films and stories have happy endings. But I remember disliking fiction in general when I was younger, because it would frequently have nasty things happening to the characters.

Daddy's Home 1 & 2 is a firm favourite in our household for laughs

Tried older films? As a child of the 80's I loved the old MGM type musicals. Colourful and generally lighthearted.
