Jeff Vice: Plenty of fantasy films for families' entertainment

Creating lists can make for interesting reading and responses by those who take the time to comment. However, the list should have a semblance of depth.

"Dark Crystal" is probably the worst of all the Muppet movies-not even close.

How many Pixar movies on the list? None. This company was bought out by Disney because they are superior in just about all elements of movie making. They have carried Disney since then.

Speaking of Disney, how about "Lion King"?

Where is the "Madagascar" series and "Kung Fu Panda"?

"Back to the Future" series-possibly the best trilogy produced.

Too many more to mention...

Most of the film you listed, wer, are not fantasy films, that's probably why they're not mentioned in the article.

Miyazaki's Films are great for families. We also love Castle in the Sky, and Howl's Moving Castle. They might be a little scary for young children however.

Couldn't agree more with Miyazaki! His films are just fantastic.

Howl's moving castle is absolutely my favorite movie. Beautiful, hilarious, heart-warming. Can't be beat.

Dark Crystal? Really? That is so sad.

Yes to the Dark Crystal, very good flick. How about Labrynth with David Bowie? Good flick!
