My 4-year-old absolutely loves The Iron Giant. It holds its own against Cars and Monsters Inc. One of the letters mentioned that it has some dark themes, but it does have a happy ending, which more than makes up for a little bit of darkness.
I'm a little concerned about The Princess Bride, though. I adore that movie, and if I'm flipping around, will always stop and watch a bit of it. However, I'm positive that I've had to change the channel when my son was around because of profanity. I know it's a losing battle to avoid bad language in films, but we do make the effort. So, no Princess Bride for a while.
Oh, and a tip for anyone with little ones who are train-obsessed: avoid the Thomas the Tank Engine movie at all costs. My god, that movie is painful to watch (how on earth they managed to get Peter Fonda to appear in that movie is a mystery).
