I thought my friend was crazy when she said her kids loved this '80s version with Kevin Kline, Angela Lansbury, and Linda Rondstat, but my kids did, too! While they don't usually watch it from beginning to end (they are 5 and 2) and don't really follow the plot, who cares? They have requested it again and again.
I remembered some of my own long-ago favorites from this list - I haven't thought about Rats of NIMH or The Point in forever. I must join the protest against the exclusion of Pixar. I have watched Cars dozens of times, but I still don't cringe when that is the requested fare, and it's not even my favorite of the bunch (that would be one of the Toy Stories or maybe Nemo).
