Looking for family movie night recommendations: slow-paced, non-violent, ideally no bad guys. Good morals or teachable moments a plus. Target audience is a very impressionable 3.5-year-old who can’t hang with The Minions franchise, and adults who would like a visual treat. What works well on a projector, paired with popcorn and snuggling? What are your family classics?

“The ramen scene is adorable!! the score to accompany this scene is unreal. Lisa makes instant ramen with ham and egg, and Ponyo is in love. It’s not just noodles — it’s her first real human comfort moment in a warm kitchen during the storm outside.”

“The only screentime we do with our almost 2-year-old. She is obsessed with the scene where Ponyo eats a bowl of ramen and falls asleep. Surreal yet cozy and comforting.”
