Videos with the kids
Bridge to Terabithia - yikes. I was expecting a fantasy/adventure, along the lines of The Neverending Story, and had no idea that the female lead dies 2/3 of the way through. Not at all prepared for that. I enjoyed the movie, and I think the kids did too, but I wouldn't have even suggested it, if I knew the full plot.
Kiki's Delivery Service - we enjoyed Ponyo, so I thought we should check out more by the same filmmaker. This is a cute story, and we all liked it (even Larry, who was home and watched with us). But I thought it was odd that such a young girl would go off on her own, and Alana asked at the end, "When does she go back to her family?" I think the story would make more sense, at least to an American audience, if she were in her late teens instead.
