flicks i like.. my kids too

"The best inheritance parents can give their children is a few minutes of their time each day"
This quote maybe just a common thing to anyone who reads it but for me, it sure is imponderable. You can never turn back the time when your kids are growing and wants to cuddle with you while watching their all-time favorite animation films. So here's the list of our top ten animation films in our DVD rack (not to mention the other hundreds) ;-)



A cowboy toy, Woody, is profoundly threatened and jealous when a fancy spaceman toy, Buzz Lightyear, supplants him as top toy in a boy's room. They just despise each other like no other. But when they separated away from their home, that's when they knew what the word friendship means.

A family of undercover superheroes, while trying to live the quiet suburban life, are forced into action to save the world.




This is a story about a boy (doubting Santa's existence), when a magical train, guided by Tom Hanks (Hero Boy/Father/Conductor/Hobo/Scrooge/Santa Claus) appears in front of his house on Christmas Eve with some of his disbelieving friends that's headed to the North Pole and Santa Claus's home. This is such a feel-good movie to both young and young at hearts.

When adventurer John Smith and the greedy Governor Ratcliffe come to shore with hopes of finding riches and gold, the young Indian princess is drawn to the handsome Smith, who follows her into the woods. When they meet, it’s love at first sight, and a powerful force brings them together, with language no barrier that can’t be overcome.When Smith is captured by the Indians, and Ratcliffe declares war, Pocahontas must choose which path she will ultimately take in trying to save those she loves






Emperor Kuzco is turned into a llama by his ex-administrator Yzma, and must now regain his throne with the help of Pacha, the gentle llama herder.
I like the role of kronk here, yzma's sidekick. It's absolutely never a dull moment watching this one!







Set during the Ice Age, a sabertooth tiger, a sloth, and a wooly mammoth find a lost human infant, and they try to return him to his tribe.







A father-son underwater adventure featuring Nemo, a boy clownfish, stolen from his coral reef home. His timid father must then search the ocean to find him




A young Inuit hunter seeks vengence against a bear, only to be magically changed into a bear himself, and his only chance to change back is with a talkative bear cub.



A reclusive ogre and a chatterbox donkey go on a quest to rescue a princess for a tyrannical midget lord. I like the character of Donkey here, annoying but very funny indeed. My kids just love, Puss. Especially the part when he plays like



The story, based on ancient Chinese legend, is an intriguing one, effectively challenging traditional male-female (and father-daughter) roles while telling a highly entertaining story. Of course, this version has been "Disney-fied," meaning that it's slightly lighter and more musical than a traditional telling of the story, but fear not, this film is still worth seeing.
