Tired of Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and The Lion King?
Some of today's more recent flicks are just as charming, funny and
winning as the classics. If you need a new film to watch with your
little ones, here are three of this generation's best animated options
that are sure to win the hearts of kids and grownups alike.
1. Rio. This visually stunning tale about a domesticated blue macaw lost in the jungles of Brazil is a visual feast. Not only is it full of endearing and adorable characters (with familiar voices - Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway and Tracy Morgan all lent their talents to the flick), it's virtually exploding with color and beauty. Go ahead, try to tear your eyes away during the Carnivale scene - you won't be able to look away!
2. Bolt. If your family owns a dog, there won't be a dry eye in the house when this flick wraps up. It's earnest, sincere and charming, and features an adorable pup who is bound to remind you of your own canine companion. Kids will love the fuzzy critters, and there are a few treats thrown in for adults, too.
3. Finding Nemo. It's a few years old by now, but this winning, unique and gorgeous film is as great as ever. If your kids like being under the sea with Ariel, they'll adore Nemo.
