- The Wizard of Oz (1939) It may seem like cheating to give an extremely famous movie that is nearly 90 years old the top slot. But. Come on. Everything comes from The Wizard of Oz.
- Paddington 2 (2017) Paddington was winsome, entertaining, funny, and a visual treat and Paddington 2 is even better — and less scary. Less scary is a good thing, since Nicole Kidman terrified young kids who saw the first film.
- My Neighbor Totoro (1988) Disney movies might be magical, but Hayao Miyazaki (aka Studio Ghibli) movies pull off honest-to-god magic tricks. My Neighbor Totoro’s enchantment stems from Miyazaki telling a story convincingly and surreally through the eyes of a young child, Mei.
- The Dark Crystal (1982) With five successful seasons of The Muppet Show under his belt, Jim Henson did the unthinkable: He pulled the plug on his highly successful primetime variety show and turned his attention to writing and directing an expansive fantasy-adventure film, told entirely with puppets.
- The Lion King. Matthew Broderick, Jeremy Irons, James Earl Jones. 1,047 votes. The epic tale following young lion cub Simba as he learns to take on his role as king, while grappling with the guilt of his father's death, for which he'd been tricked into taking the blame.
- Monsters, Inc. John Goodman, Billy Crystal, Mary Gibbs. 841 votes. In a world powered by children's screams, best friends and top scare team, James P. Sullivan and Mike Wazowski stumble upon an adorable, yet forbidden, human child named Boo.
