Eh, I don't think we should be so reductive of media that we intend to engage kids with, afterall, it has the opportunity to shape younger generations media literacy to some extent. With that, there's a handful of movies I watched as a kid that I had gained an older appreciation for, as their messages and themes don't lose meaning with age, and will continue to enjoy.

Just recently I rewatched The Lego Movie, not in doubt, but I was suprised how it holds up compared to some newer (and older) media, which I certainly don't feel the need to watch/rewatch (sorry Mario you fall here). Made for kids shouldn't equate to crass humor and meandering plot, but when it does, it may be just a bad movie.

When I was a young lad, I remember feeling somewhat guilty at first for falling asleep during Planes, but I had pieced it together, some movies suck. And I can't lie, I enjoy the occasional rewatch of Megamind as another one that holds up well
