Milo and Otis. It's tame enough for the littlest audiences but the jokes are clever enough to entertain adults as well. It's short, but well done, funny and cute.

A runaway victory this week for Shannon and Mary Poppins. Great job, Shannon. You get to choose Monday's question.

Mary Poppins: music, live action, animation, adorable penguins, lots of humor and no creepy content. 👏🏻

Bambi, because "It's a real world, kid. Deer die."

And it's a simple, beautiful story.

The movie that first made me love movies as a child was The Wizard of Oz and that movie reigned supreme above all other movies for most of my childhood and well into my teens.

Really? Was it the flying monkeys or the munchkins? Or the green ugly witch? 😁

The mean lollipop munchkin was way more intimidating than the monkeys to little me.

😂 I had a hard time with that too. I always had a pillow and my woobie near by so I could hide my face during the monkey parts 🙈🐵🙈😆

This is kinda difficult to answer so generalities will be taken. For example, I will assume that there are very specific reasons this child hasn’t seen a movie therefore a live action might overwhelm.

I’ll go with a cartoon, The Peanuts Movie. Final answer.

I’ll nominate The Goonies. Because even if the kid has never seen a movie before, he/she can definitely relate to the way kids talk all over each other. That chaotic energy, yeah most 10 year olds would embrace it.

There are many factors to consider here. What are the child's interests? Boy or girl? Without knowing those things, I think that I am going to have to go pretty neutral on this one...

My choice has romance, action, comedy, adventure and an overall good vibe. It's not too scary, but also not boring.

The Princess Bride is my final answer.
