- The Wizard of Oz (1939) It may seem like cheating to give an extremely famous movie that is nearly 90 years old the top slot. But. Come on. Everything comes from The Wizard of Oz.
- Paddington 2 (2017) Paddington was winsome, entertaining, funny, and a visual treat and Paddington 2 is even better — and less scary. Less scary is a good thing, since Nicole Kidman terrified young kids who saw the first film.
- My Neighbor Totoro (1988) Disney movies might be magical, but Hayao Miyazaki (aka Studio Ghibli) movies pull off honest-to-god magic tricks. My Neighbor Totoro’s enchantment stems from Miyazaki telling a story convincingly and surreally through the eyes of a young child, Mei.
- The Dark Crystal (1982) With five successful seasons of The Muppet Show under his belt, Jim Henson did the unthinkable: He pulled the plug on his highly successful primetime variety show and turned his attention to writing and directing an expansive fantasy-adventure film, told entirely with puppets.

1987’s Adventures in Babysittingis a bit of a bizarre example of the childhood adventure genre simply because there aren’t really any sci-fi, supernatural or mystical elements to it. While most childhood adventure films aim to portray what would happen if the fantastic journeys that children imagine themselves embarking on while they simply walk up...
It’s hard not to be a little nostalgic for the untainted imagination many of us had as a child. Although there’s plenty of reasons to be happy you’re not a kid anymore (most of which are school related) it’s a shame that age seems to deprive most people of their ability to look at the most mundane elements of their life and see something extraordin...
While it sometimes feels like all the good childhood adventure films were released sometime between 1980 and 1989, that's not really a fair analysis. Things changed drastically following the '80s, and it just became much more difficult to produce a movie about kids in danger that wasn’t seen as potentially offensive by some and overplayed by others...
By their very nature, childhood adventure films are kind of dark. After all, what’s an adventure if there isn’t a little risk involved in it? Still, Radio Flyerdoes really milk that leeway for all its worth. It tells the tale of a father named Mike that is trying to teach his kids a lesson about broken promises by telling them a story about his chi...
It was a shared dream among many kids of the ‘80s that one day they would be able to translate their incredible video game skills into a great adventure (or at least a high-paying job). Somehow, we all knew that that time spent saving the world from ninjas, dragons, and robot ninja dragons would eventually be used to help us solve some incredible c...
While movie studios are seemingly always on a mission to try to bottle it up for profit, the truth is that nostalgia is not always that easy to capture. A director may know everything there is to know about a piece of nostalgic pop-culture (and maybe even have a deep personal affection for it) but when it comes to trying to create a throwback film ...
Believe it or not, there was actually a great deal of controversy surrounding the release of The NeverEnding Story that almost prevented it from being released at all. See, the author of The NeverEnding Storynovel looked at the production of the film and became outraged over the fact that the movie had strayed so far from the spirit of the book and...
Hook is a rather interesting childhood adventure film if for no other reason than it doesn't technically star a child. Instead, it follows a much older, much less imaginative Peter Panon his journey to escape the crazy world of Neverland as quickly as possible with his children in tow. Throughout much of the movie, he makes it perfectly clear that ...
There's nothing like watching horror movies as a kid. Even if they’re the ones you shouldn’t technically be watching, turning off the lights and letting a movie scare you stiff for a couple of hours is enough to send any kid’s imagination into overdrive. While your imagination in those instances can betray you sometimes with images of your horrible...
Flight of the Navigatorwasn’t on every ‘80s kid's best-of list, and it’s not hard to see why. It centers around a young boy whose mysterious journey eight years into the future so happens to coincide with the arrival of an alien spaceship, and proves to be a surprisingly complicated movie that takes some time to really get going. It’s a big part of...
