Oren picked this dvd out of the $5.50 bin at Wal Mart. It is cute and the boys really like it but Oren keeps asking me why the Mom is at the hospital. Is there any background on this movie?
Also Oren checked out Spirited Away from the library and we both really like it.
Can someone that also has kids that like these movies recommend a couple more?
Thanks!

Other kid movies by Miyazaki are Castle in the Sky and Kiki's Delivery Service. Castle in the Sky has gun fire in it, so Hadyn hasn't watched it. My dh and I have and we liked it. You might want to preview it for your ds. Kiki's Delivery Service is very sweet and lots of fun.

Thank you for the website. I am not sure he will understand tuberculosis but hopefully if I say that he won't want a big explanation. lol!
I will check into the other ones. I'm not sure if our library will have them or not.
Thanks guys!
Marcey may make me eat my words (I told her I don't care for anemie style annimation) but we watched Kiki's Delivery service on the Disney Channel a couple weekends ago and I loved it (I managed to get over my asthetic objections)! The kids really liked it to. lol
I'm thinking I need to check out Spirited away.

Spirited Away was really good. Oren loved it. It scared Iven in parts though.
I checked the library and they had all the movies that you guys said. I reserved a copy of all of them so I just have to wait for them to be transferred up here now.
My oldest loves Princess Mononoke (10yo), but I'd agree with Marcey that it may not be appropriate without viewing first. We couldn't figure out Spirited Away for the life of us. We also have Castle in the Sky. But I would say that Kiki is probably the favoritist ( is that word, probably not ) around here and more friendly for different age groups.
Has anyone else notice the brothel theme that seems to run through some of these movies

Originally posted by Scarlet I'm not an anime fan but we love Spirited Away.
Shalon, if you see another Totoro at walmart can you get it for me? I'd be happy to pay for it and shipping if you can.
I probably won't go until Saturday but will be happy to look. The movies there usually don't go very fast since they are a pain to look through. Oren and Iven love looking through them.
no I haven't, but the style of the art I've seen annoys me. I don't like the stylised expressions, the eyes etc . I like Spirited Away because of the story and plot, not because of the style. Oh and the voice actor they used for Sen annoyed me too because it was like she was whiny shouting the whole time.
i didn't like Kiki's but the kids liked it. They haven't seen Totoro yet...
