When the Wind Blows
Whether or not this is really a kids film is debatable but Raymond Briggs’ cold war tale of an elderly couple preparing for the potential of nuclear destruction is hard hitting as an adult let alone a child. Many of us were shown this at school and went home that day very shaken and worried for our futures.
The Land Before Time
So you’re around 6 years old and love Dinosaurs, what could be better that a Steven Spielberg animation about a group of Dinosaurs right? Wrong! Very early on in the movie you are faced with a seriously bleak scene, Littlefoot gets to witness his Mother die after being attacked by a T-Rex. As if this wasn’t bad enough he is also separated from his heard by an earthquake and is hunted by the T-Rex for the rest of the film, lovely.
