    My two cents

    I must put in a vote for Altman's 'Popeye' from the early 80s, it has bright colors, a crooked town, upbeat songs and a huge emphisis on the importance of family, all sorts of family. And it has a very young and very funny Robin Williams as the title charector. I would say 9 and up.

    My brother and I loved the Jodie Foster version of Freaky Friday and also the Parent Trap with Hayley Mills... and my very favorite movie growing up was the Anne of Green Gables series from PBS.

    The early 90s versions of the Secret Garden and the Little Princess are haunting and are filmed so beautifully that the adults will be absolutly charmed.
