Kid Flicks

If you like Kiki's Delivery Service, try another Miyazaki film called My Neighbor Totoro. Perfect for young kids, no violence, no sexual innuendo, very charming. Promotes close family and neighborly ties.

Two young girls whose mother is in the hospital move out to the countryside with their father. The local nature spirits become their friends.

The animation is gorgeous, as you would expect with Miyazaki.

For those that remember....the Schoolhouse Rock bits can be purchased on DVD....I still remember some of those songs, plus their educational.

there is also a cd of various modern bands covering the schoolhouse rocks songs. i own the dvd, great stuff! i could remmber most of the songs.

Yah, we have the schoolhouse rock DVD and have already played a bunch. There are some really catchy songs there. Of course, we skip over the ones that are US based (how a bill become law, etc.) as we are in a different country, but the memories flood back when I hear and see these bits.

Thanks dutchess for that other Miziaki suggestion. I wil definately check it out
