The Aventures of Baron Von Munchausen is fine for kids.
Yes there's some tasteful nudity, but if I'm being real it's less than any of us are comfortable with in the home.
Uma Thurman as Venus, no less.
Maybe they'd like some of the kids cartoons I enjoy as an adult or when I was in high school?
Dexter's Lab, Ed Edd and Eddy, Power Puff Girls, 2 Stupid Dogs, Home Movies, Dr. Katz., Invader Zim, Rugrats, Ren and Stimpy, Hey Arnold, Rocko's Modern Life, Phineas and Ferb, Daria, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, Regular Show, and Adventure Time.
Ooh hey, my teenage cartoons!
*checks year of release
Okay, where's that meme about getting run over by the old age truck?
Edit: I'm gonna add CatDog, Angry Beavers, Jimmy Neutron, and Johnny Bravo from around the same era. Also, how could we forget SpongeBob?
My kids and I watched a lot of Futurama.
Star Wars: Clone wars, Bad Batch, and Rebels.
All animated, very much not cutesy little kid stuff. War, trauma, death, PTSD for soldiers, all of it. Its also something special to watch a sith lord murder their way out of a ship using nothing but the force.
Edit: oh, movies, my bad. Hmm, thats a little trickier for me.
Young kids: The Iron Giant, Princess Bride, and if shows count, Adventure Time and Avatar
Teenagers: Everything, Everywhere, All at Once
Any of the Studio Ghibli anime. Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke are two of my favorites. If you’re not into anime, just trust me and give them a try; the writing and drama is on par with any Grammy-winning blockbuster from the past 50 years.

is everybody making suggestions in here a millennial? or is there really no examples of family-friendly films from the last 10-20 years?
Suggestions already in this thread from the last 10-20 years:
- Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)
- Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016)
- Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022)
- Flow (2024)
- Hundreds of Beavers (2024)
- Nova Seed (2016)
- Interstellar (2014)
- The Martian (2015)
- Into the Spiderverse (2018)
- Across the Spiderverse (2023)
- Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)
Interstellar is pg 13. It's kind of a heavy movie but younger kids won't pick up on it.

Doctor Who!
The Martian was excellent.
The first Guardians of the Galaxy movie was a hell of a lot of fun.
I'm guessing that's (cartoons or movies) (made for kids), not (cartoons) or (movies made for kids) - so the Spiderverse moves were also excellent.
I watched Robocop at a birthday party when I was 9. Does that count?
That's one hell of a birthday party.
Gotta love 80s free-range parenting
Since its 25th anniversary of its western release just passed and it’s on my mind, Princess Mononoke is a good one. It’s bloody but tasteful.
