To ask for film recommendations for 9/10 year old girls?

[snapdragongirl]

DD has a few friends coming for a sleepover soon and one thing she was going to suggest was a movie - what are your favourite films for this age? DD loves Mrs Doubtfire, recently enjoyed Inside Out 2. Wondering if there are any recent films we've not seen they might enjoy, but also what are your classic kids films?

We watched School of Rock last weekend with DD (10) & DS (6) - they both enjoyed that.

Yes Day! Mine loves it!

Parent trap
Freaky friday
Ever after
Secret garden

God, we’ve had to watch that so many times. My 9 year old also loves it.

Anything from studio ghibli

Cool runnings. I remember loving it as a yr6 so I’m guessing it’s appropriate? Otherwise stuff others have said like school of rock.

Was also going to say yes day and Ghibli, would go yes day for a party

Little Princess..or am I woefully out of touch?

Parent trap is a firm favourite with my dd

Ever After
Stardust

The Hayley Mills one, surely???

My girls (10, 7) enjoyed "Are you there God, it's me Margaret" tonight. Made me reminisce about being that age when you're all discussing who will get their period first etc :)

Ooh which platform?

Princess Diaries :D

Stepmom and Mermaids but maybe for a bit older

Parent Trap
Wonder
Pirates of the Caribbean
Princess Bride
Jumanji
Karate kid

My 9yo DD and friends enjoyed elemental at her last sleepover

Elemental is a great film, I cry every time!

Strange magic.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Matilda
The Little Rascals

I also second the poster who recommended Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret

That was so bad we walked out of the cinema, possibly because I had idolised the book in my head for so long but Dts found it so dull.

Greatest showman, legally blonde?

Really depends what your kid is into.

Labyrinth.
Adored in turn by all my daughters. We still refer to the bog of eternal stench!

High school musical!

Finding O'Hana

I unashamedly love this film!

Splash with Tom hanks and Daryl Hannah. The spiderwick chronicles , my kids loved time bandits, the secret garden and my son was absolutely enthralled by the old black and white version of Jane eyre . All of the pirates of the Caribbean films are fun and the back to the future films , big with Tom hanks is an oldie but a goodie too as is batteries not included .
