"Kids deserve to watch great films, especially in these times. But where to turn when you need a quality watchlist of family films?
Pixar to the rescue! A bunch of the renowned studio's filmmakers have shown up in your hour of need, to make personal recommendations from the Pixar vault and far beyond, separated into three age groupings: All Ages, 7 to 12 Years and 12 Years and Over. (Be sure to look at the All Ages list for ideas for the whole family.)
Enormous thanks to Angus MacLane (co-director of Finding Dory and director of BURN·E, Toy Story of Terror! and Small Fry), Domee Shi (director of Bao), Kristen Lester (director of Purl), Daniel Chong (story artist on Cars 2, Inside Out, Toy Story of Terror!, and creator of We Bare Bears!), Peter Sohn (director of The Good Dinosaur), Valerie LaPointe (Head of Story on Toy Story 4, director of Lamp Life), Brian Fee (director of Cars 3), Enrico Casarosa (director of La Luna), and Andrew Stanton (director of WALL·E, Finding Nemo and Finding Dory).
We encourage you to read the notes to see individual director recommendations (and some explanations!). For age groupings, you know your children best so explore all three lists and screen at your discretion. We cross-checked the age groupings with Common Sense Media, and then asked children’s film specialist Nicola Marshall to finesse them. Read more from Nicola in our blog."
