Of course, the list is far from complete, and we will be glad if you add something worthwhile to it. But even such an enumeration is enough to understand to what extent modern children are deprived of good cinematography and how much their cultural, spiritual and moral immunity will be strengthened if adults take the trouble to convey these wonderful films to them.

If at least a couple of times a month the so-called “class hour” is devoted to watching such films (with subsequent discussion to get feedback from the children), this will already improve the situation. In the meantime, schools are ripening for such an initiative, do not waste time, create a home video library of the classics of children’s and teenage films, try to include in it the guys with whom your sons and daughters are friends. The main thing is not to hope that everything will “resolve” by itself.

We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the lists of cartoons for children and books for children:
