A 4 year-old I know loves the classics! yay!
So far she has fallen in love with the typical kids' classics, such as "The Sound of Music", "Mary Poppins", and "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang".
I'd like to introduce her to Shirley Temple films too.
Can anyone recommend some others?

When I was little, I liked some of the Abbott & Costello movies.
Of the Shirley Temples, I vote for "Heidi" and "The Little Princess."

Oh yeah, of course!
All the early Judy Garland/Mickey Rooney films would probably be really good choices. She might even like some of her later musicals.
Has anyone seen any Deanna Durbin films? Are they any good for really young kids? -

Sun, September 2, 2007 - 10:10 PMI've seen a couple Deanna Durbin films, "Three Smart Girls," and "Lady on a Train."
Three Smart Girls might be great for a girl of 8 or older.
Lady on a Train is a murder mystery, probably unsuitable for small children. -

Re: kids' classics recommendations?
Sun, October 28, 2007 - 7:17 PMI don't know any 4yr olds and I did not really see or appreciate any kid's movies until I was in my late 20's. I have a couple of Ideas anyway.
---That four year old is a good one, already appreciating the classics, she's a keeper!
Fred Astaire's "Easter Parade" is a great movie for kids, it has a lot of big fun numbers.
What about early Laurel and hardy shorts?
Would the "Our Gang" movies be a dumb suggestion? Some of them are pretty funny and have musical numbers, etc.
Nancy Drew Mysteries are not great, but a kid might find them fun and they are not murder mysteries, sort of a kiddie noir, actually.
Good luck.

Tue, October 30, 2007 - 3:18 PMToday I happen to come upon the site listed below and thought of your four year old here and her appreciation for "The Golden Age of Hollywood".
It is a site of free cut out dolls, many of which are classic film stars, they are done very well, a little girl would approve.
hope this is useful.
