Re: Bumblebee, Spidr-Man, Roma?

Agreed on Spider Man. I loved it, but it's not for Autumn yet.

I assume that you've already been through the Miyazaki classics? Toto, Kiki, etc? What about Song of the Sea? Autumn is also super in to Mune, Guardian of the Moon. It seems to be a moderately standard adventure plot, but fascinating world building. I haven't watched it all the way through, so I can't comment on all aspects of it, but it hasn't been traumatic to her at least. Sing is kinda vapid, but has some well performed pop music across a few different sub-genres and is fun and bouncy and uplifting. Has she seen the original Wreck-It Ralph? (Not the 2018 sequel, which was meh.)

A little further out there, some of the classics of our childhood/adolescence: The Muppet Movie, Labyrinth, The Neverending Story, The Dark Crystal.

Brian bought Labyrinth and the Dark Crystal for her to watch sometime, but we haven’t gotten them out yet. I honestly don’t remember either one very well.

She has seen the first couple seasons of The Muppet Show, but not, I think, the movie. We have a lot of Myazaki but I don’t think we have Song of the Sea. Right now Rosie is into Miraculous Ladybug which is a show.

we watched IronMan 2 last week and then this week she re-watched Empire Strikes back. She’s reading the Jedi Academy books right now.
