The hardest thing in this situation is the question of choice. Daddy likes Chinese action movies, mom wants to see a light melodrama, and children beg cartoons - how can you find a compromise here? Editing Woman’s Day tells how to solve a conflict of interest, and advises seven paintings (both new and time-tested) that will appeal to both children and adults.

Big / Big (1988)

A photo: still from the film Adults will be nostalgic at the sight of the young Tom Hanks playing the main role in this film. And the children will like the plot that embodies their dream: a 12-year-old boy named Josh, who dreams of growing up quickly, wakes up one morning in the body of a 30-year-old man. Josh goes to New York, gets a job there, in which he is the biggest specialist - in a toy company. And pretty soon he makes a successful career (who else, if not a 12-year-old, even if in an adult’s body, is better at understanding toys?) It seems his dream (to become an adult overnight) has come true, but why does Josh increasingly dream of returning back to "normal childhood"? And will he succeed?

We bought the zoo / We Bought a Zoo (2011)

Photo:still from the filmThe Mi family spontaneously buys a new house, which comes with an old zoo with two hundred animals. In this way, they save the animals from death and breathe new life into the abandoned zoo. But the family itself needs a kind of reboot: the father (played by Matt Damon) cannot cope with the loss of his wife, the teenage son predictably withdraws into himself, and the little daughter becomes too emotional and acutely experiences what is happening. But, choosing words and keys to each other, making efforts on themselves, they strive to overcome circumstances and find harmony.

The Boss Baby / The Boss Baby (2017)

A photo: frame from a cartoon. The appearance of a child in the family is a joy for parents and often an occasion for jealousy for older children. It begins to seem to them that parents pay all attention to the baby, and everyone has forgotten about them. It is on this popular problem that the plot of the Boss-Milk-Scavenger is based. At seven-year-old Tim appears brother, Tim begins to be jealous, but then notices that the baby is rather unusual: wears a business suit, drinks a double espresso and solves all sorts of things on the phone. Then the boy learns about the terrible operation that the Dogg Co. corporation has planned: with the help of the sweetest little dogs, to make the parents of the entire planet forget about the birth of babies. And the only one with whom Tim can unite his efforts against this danger is his brother, a businessman.

Mrs. Doubtfire / Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)

A photo: A frame from the film Robyn Williams will forever remain in our hearts. An actor who combines children's grimaces and grimaces with an extraordinary talent for reincarnation in his characters. He can laugh for a couple of seconds, but also can touch to the depths of the soul. Like in this film, in which his hero named Daniel had to change into a female housemaid and take up work in his own family. The fact is that Daniel’s wife in court forbade him from seeing the children, but for him this separation was unbearable.

Doctor Dolittle (1998)

Photo:still from the filmA timeless classic of family cinema. Eddie Murphy as Doctor Dolittle, who suddenly gains the gift of understanding the language of animals, is simply irresistible. He suddenly hears not the looped phrases of a stupid parrot, but the quite meaningful and profound speech of a living creature. But in the world of people, this skill brings Doctor Dolittle a lot of trouble, because those around him think that the scientist has simply gone crazy. For children, there are plenty of funny moments, and for adults - an interesting topic for reflection on the fact that we have learned to fly into space, but still often do not understand our smaller brothers and do not care enough about them.

Epic / Epic (2013)

Photo: Cartoonfinder.ruThis cartoon belongs to the category of those who seem to be childish and simple, but at the same time are able to cause genuine tears in an adult man. Especially if he recognizes himself in the main character - Professor Bomba, who lives in the forest and believes in the existence of a crazy little folk there. His daughter Mary Catherine comes to visit him, who, to put it mildly, does not rejoice at her father’s quirks, but gradually she begins to realize that the father is actually right and the forest folk really exist. Moreover, he is in danger. Epic, despite its fantastic nature, turns out to be a good metaphor for the relationship between parents and children.

Book of Life / The Book of Life (2014)

Photo:Frame from the cartoonAnother beautiful cartoon from a visual point of view, which only at first glance seems to be for children, but in fact is stuffed with deep ideas, understandable even to a child. Two Mexican gods on the Day of the Dead (this is a national version of Halloween) arrange a dispute: which of the two earthly boys they have chosen will win the heart of Maria, their third girlfriend. The gods' bet drags on for many years, each of the heavenly beings thinks about how to deceive the opponent. Meanwhile, the guys themselves do not suspect for the time being what kind of dispute they are the subject of... And all this time they are trying their best to win Maria's favor. P.S. The films are available for viewing in the online cinemas Megogo, Ivi.ru, Okko. tv, Tvzavr.ru, in the iTunes and Google Play stores, as well as Rostelecom IPTV.
