7. Scooby: The Movie
Of all the Hanna-Barbera classics, Scooby Doo is one of the franchises that has best known how to update itself over time. And the most recent film in the series is the greatest proof of this, modernizing several elements of the original, honoring the studio’s entire legacy and creating a shared universe that was everyone’s childhood dream.
In the plot, Scooby and Shaggy separate from the rest of the gang and end up forming a new alliance with their childhood heroes: the Blue Falcon and Dynamite the Bionicão. That’s because they’re being hunted by Dick Dastardly, who’s looking to unearth an ancient power — and he’s going to need the scared dog to do that.
It’s a great way to show new generations a classic from your childhood, but with a more modern language that will please the whole family.
A classic of classics, The Lion King no presentation required. The Shakespearean story of little Simba still works very well and captivates audiences of all ages. And despite the attempt disney than revitalizing the plot with a rather questionable remake, the original 1994 cartoon still holds up well.
Fairy tales never go out of style and, for that very reason, presenting a deconstructed version of these timeless stories is still the great charm of shrek🇧🇷 The misadventure of the ogre who needs to save a make-believe kingdom and having to interact with characters like Pinocchio, Snow White and the Three Little Pigs continues to be hilarious – not least because none of them act as you expect.
There is a certain age when the child no longer sees himself in childhood and does not understand what it is to be a teenager – and this confusion ends up causing the relationship between adults and this young person to be quite troubled. and the animation Red: Growing up is a Beast It’s a great opportunity to get everyone to understand each other.
The Pixar film tells the story of a young Canadian woman who, upon reaching a certain age, sees her body undergo drastic transformations. In this case, she turns into a giant red panda – and this will echo several situations that the end of childhood offers.
It’s a great choice for anyone who needs to start a conversation with pre-teens.

3. Monica’s Gang: Ties
There is no Brazilian child who does not know the Monica’s Gang🇧🇷 The characters created by Mauricio de Sousa are part of our imagination and, in Ties, we have the first opportunity to see them in the flesh. And what a delightful adventure.
Based on the comic book of the same name, the film has a very eighty atmosphere with a group of children getting into serious trouble as they go on a journey to help a friend. And any resemblance to The Goonies and The Five Club it’s not just a coincidence — that’s why it’s perfect for children from 0 to 100 years old.
DespiteHarry Potter having never left the scene, the little witch story is no longer so popular with children – and it’s never too late to remedy this problem. THE saga as a whole is perfect to marathon with children of all ages, even if the first films are still more aimed at younger people.
In addition, as you were probably (or still are) part of the legion of fans that the franchise conquered at the time of the book or even the debut of the feature films, presenting the magical world of Harry Potter to your son, brother or nephew is to strengthen the bond with this new generation.
the franchise Harry Potter is available at HBO Max🇧🇷
1. Toy Story
There is no way to talk about a film for Children’s Day without mentioning Toy Story🇧🇷 The iconic design of the talking toys has everything to do with the October 12th holiday: it brings a very fun story that will entertain the little ones, an adventure to excite everyone and a theme that goes very well with the date.
Teaching a child to take care of the toys he just got from a movie that talks about dolls also having consciences and that they strive to please their owners is something they will never forget — just like it was with us.
