kids movies today
 

i just like to know if anybody ever tries to get your kids to watch movies you liked when you were young. i got my son today to watch monster squad and he said it was boring, when i was young i loved this movie, whenever i put movies on i loved as a kid he thinks they are so stupid.do you think kids movies today are rubbish from when you were young.

My daughter loves Fraggle Rock. I know thats a TV show, not a movie but i figure it counts. I always loved that as a kid.

i used to love faggle rock, i did not like it when they turned it into a cartoon tho.

I don't think family films today are any worse than they used to be. You tend to forget all the crap of the past and just remember the gems, so it seems like the old films are better.

My children (20 and 17 - so not exactly children anymore) loved a large portion of the films I introduced to them over the years, but we have our differences.

I've turned both of my sons onto Monster Squad...as well as my niece and nephew...All of them love it! Its a timeless classic, imo...

u got a good point there, which movies stand out for u that u liked as a kid.
i just cant get into stuff like pokemon, dragon ball z things like that which my kid liked.

Dragon Ball Z is actually pretty bad ass

:mad: i hate all that stuff lol

All what stuff?

dragon ball z, pokemon, digimon ect

i know u were just refering to dragon ball z, or do u like pokemon as well ?

Nope just Dragon Ball Z but why are you lumping them all together? Pokemon and Digimon i get but Dragon Ball Z is completely different.

My children were seriously into Pokemon. I did kind of like the show; it was so silly at times. The movies were pure torture. All the humor from the TV show was taken out.

i supose ur right i just dont like them, i hate manga as well but my kids love all that stuff, my eldest step son is a massive dragon ball z fan. maybe i will sit down and give it another go with him.

i love labyrinth movie with david bowie, that is one of my fave movies and ghostbusters, gremlins, i love all that stuff growing up. todays kids movies i like is toy story i love those movies and monsters inc, jumanji, mall cop was funny as well.

my fave kids movies of today new and old are the studio ghibli movies, i have loved these from a kid up to today.

I'm not saying you have to watch them. I was jut making a point that they're different thats all. They're obviously not for everyone though.

I love Labyrinth!

i know what u meane i just labled them all together as movies i did not like, but i am going to try dragon ball z for myself.

Oh my now you've got me all nostalgic and reminiscing-those old studio ghibli films have such an emotional attachment to me that I couldn't watch them today it would freak me out. They represent such childhood innocence to me that is genuinely moving-outstanding stuff! :)

My son is 9 and I got him to watch Monster Squad. He loved it. It's great when he enjoys something I watched when I was growing up....I took him to the movies to watch Ghostbusters when they were doing a special screening of it last summer. I think this is better because he gets to experience it the same as me on the big screen versus just watching it on dvd.

i never got to watch ghosbusters at the cinema i would have loved it. my kids love ghostbusters i think it still stands out today.
