Top 100 Kid Films List – Your Vote Counts!
Voting for the 2008 KIDS FIRST! Top 100 Kid Films continues until Sunday, June 1, 2008. Please log on to our onsite voting and cast your vote for your top 100 films for kids.
You’ll be asked for your top five recommendation and then, you may select from 196 titles, your your favorite 100. Titles include films such as “The Lion King,” “Wizard of Oz,” “Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, “Nim’s Island,” “Charlotte’s Web,” “Surf’s Up,” “Nanny McPhee,” August Rush,” and “Shrek.” The KIDS FIRST! Top 100 Kid Films will be announced later this summer.
The KIDS FIRST! Top 100 Kid Films will encompass films suitable for kids between the ages of 2 and 18 that have universal appeal, exhibit outstanding attributes in terms of their production values and portray values and have qualities that make them as applicable today as the day they were first released. This list is unique because it takes into consideration not just what films adults think kids should watch but also what kids like and will watch. Because media has the power to influence children, negatively or positively, the films on this list portray the values and ethics that we, as a culture wish to instill in our children.
KIDS FIRST! is uniquely positioned to create this list because of its 17-year history evaluating and promoting quality children’s films. Any film that KIDS FIRST! endorses must meet or exceed the baseline criteria of: no gratuitous violence or abuse; no inappropriate sexual behavior; no bias in terms of race, gender, culture or religion; no condescension toward children; no replicable unsafe behavior. Additionally, any film on this list has been compared with others and found to be exceptional among its peers.
