Cookie's Guide to Family Movies

Based on the following description, would you let your kids watch this movie? “A mother and most of her children are massacred. The sole surviving son is then kidnapped, forcing the grieving father to risk his own life again and again in an attempt to rescue his boy.” You probably already have—since this aptly describes Finding Nemo. In fact, just about every family film ever made contains at least one line, character, or theme that somebody somewhere might find objectionable. The question is: What is your particular measure of objectionable? And should it get in the way of introducing your children (and you) to a silver-screen magnum opus? With this thoroughly researched roundup of kid-friendly flicks—which includes a key to potentially offensive material in each—we present some unheralded gems of cinema, from Charlie Chaplin to Kirsten Dunst, so you can decide for yourself.
