Five of the best childhood films

19 April 2016

By Lauren E. White

Here at b**p we’re throwing it back to your tender childhood years with a list of the top five films that made you laugh, cry and learn. Enjoy!

 

1. Monsters Inc.

Fifteen years ago (yes, we’re getting old) Sulley and Mike Wazowski touched our hearts when they went on an epic adventure to return Boo home safely.

 

2. Toy Story 2

When Woody is toynapped by Al with the cheesy fingers (an image we’ll never forget), it’s up to all of the toys to save the day. Released in 1999 this is certainly a film for the millennium babies.

 

3. Aladdin

Everyone’s childhood hero, Robin Williams voiced the genie in this 1992 classic. Aladdin is genuinely amazing.

 

4. Peter Pan

You can fly, you can fly! Peter Pan was watched again and again throughout our younger years and ever since we always remember Captain Hook’s fear of the crocodile.

 

5. Matilda

The heart-warming tale of Matilda Wormwood’s ignored talents remains a core part of our favourite childhood films. Knowledge is power.
