Original article: I'm on vacation. But you can help out!

REALLY non-current

The Friendly Persuasion, about a Quaker family in southern Indiana during the Civil War is fun, (mostly) gentle (it does take place during a war, after all), nicely episodic, and has a lovely score. I'm pretty sure it's Disney, but way pre-CGI. Another fun musical is Singin' in the Rain, and count me as another vote for The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T. It's fabulous!

Original article: The ultimate family DVD list

Roar

You've got a lion (Elsa) and an Ocelot (Michel -- ba da boom!), but no cheetah! DUMA is a great kids' film: it's got humor, adventure, sentiment (not sticky), funny accents, and some scary bits. Plus the cheetah, who's incredibly appealing.

Warning: the boy's father dies, which can be hard for some kids.
