I concur with Jilli - the mom recovers in the end, but there are a couple of scenes in which both daughters show totally raw, naked terror at the possibility of her death. Ponyo is probably a safer Miyazaki choice.
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

If the parent is already long dead when the film begins is that OK? If so, Lilo & Stitch.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Is 4 too early for Muppets?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, I didn't even think of the Muppets either. I'll pass these along to Mom.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
The first Muppet movie certainly has its scary moments, what with Kermit almost being killed for his frog legs.

Someone suggested Land Before Time to Mom, but the parents die so that's not good. I was wondering if the sequels were any good.
