Backpacking / Movies

My husband and I have been backpacking for years, and I think this is the year for us to bring the kids (ages 9 and 11). We found a GREAT spot where the terrain is easy, and the hike is only about three miles in. We camped there this weekend, and it was beautiful. We've taken them on several three and four mile hikes to get them ready, taken them tent camping in campgrounds, and done some reading and talking about safety. Now it's time to take the plunge. I want to take this next week to get them mentally ready, and I thought that watching some adventure movies with camping and backpacking might help get them excited about it. Any suggestions - especially movies with kids in them? I'd prefer to stay away from "adult" themed movies, and the ones where friends and family members get mauled by bears, bitten by snakes, and eaten by wolves - that wouldn't be helpful. Thanks!
