Just took my nieces (ages 6 and 11) to see Frozen. It was very good. The older niece thought it was better than some of the more recent Disney princess movies. I enjoyed it - and it was more about sisterly love vs romantic love.
So Heyang, can you give me some details about the books? Why for example Is PanEm so stainless and futuristic but clothes so retro, fussy, in the way? Who gets to live in the Capitol? And if they can make live beasts out of thin air, why does the whole country live in poverty when they can mfg what they want in the games?
Thanks if they address this. Looks like I have to read book 3, cant wait for next movie.
For wonderful family movies (rather than strictly childrens'), I'd like to recommend this version of Black Beauty:

It's an adaptation of the book - not Black Beauty on fun adventures saving little Tmmy from the well sort of thing. I just rewatched this myself recently.
Note: Hankies may be needed. I'm not really a weeper myself when it comes to movies - but this definitely gets to me. Especially towards the end...
Black Beauty is such a sad story, though supposedly intended for young readers. It was written specifically to call attention to the mistreatment of horses, which of course were much more widely used at that time before automobiles. I made it through just once and then could not go near it again because it was so downbeat--with good reason, I hasten to say.
Did anyone see the remake of Gatsby? My PCA gave me a code to Netflix. I took her to see Hunger 2 but she had never seen hunger one. I just wonder what movies came out during 2013 that were worth watching.
Here is my difficulty:
Movies now are mostly:
1)dark
2)scary
3) grungy realism-sad-violent
4) expensive at theatre tho with my hair not died, and medication over weight, I sadly got the senior discount (hoping it was 55) so movies are a lot, and my pcas are who I go with... If I had a little one, I'd do Disney/animation. Loved Finding nemo. I have not seen the twilight series or even Harry potter. Is there still such a category as clean adult movies?
I saw Liberace from Redbox. It was sad, and I really don't like watching sex...yes, major prude. I cannot imagine how they will do "Shades of Grey." Ugh.

Any movie suggestions much appreciated. I don't care what era or genre just maybe uplifting, true stories, like Secretariat, that kind of thing. biographies of famous into movies I love those too. I want to see some old Meryl movies and Netflix did not have them. Maybe I need a list of Top 100 movies to start with.
