    Miyazaki movies - Princess Mononoke, Kiki's Delivery Service, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Winds, etc.
    Robin Hood - the Errol Flynn version, and the Disney one - there are lots more, but either I haven't seen them or they're hard to find. Or they're really bad.
    I second Watership Down - the 1978/2008/2010 version (the latter are 'deluxe edition' DVDs), not the TV cartoon which was also released on DVD.
    Spirit, Stallion of the Cimmaron
    The Incredibles
    The Gods Must Be Crazy
    Galaxy Quest, especially if either of you like Star Trek
    The Librarian series (Quest for the Spear and I forget the other two)

    I watch a lot of anime/animation - these are good stories, not saccharine-sweet children's stuff, though. Some of them have somewhat scary scenes, but I have a very low tolerance for horror, so if your daughter can handle "some gore", they should be fine.

    John Wayne movies are always a great way to go for westerns. McClintock! is a lot of fun for kids aka the 'fight' in the mud pit. The Searchers is considered one of the top 100 movies of all time. I know that the American Film *kitten*. has a book that lists their top ranks which I would totally look up. She may be a bit young to understand all themes but I think it is wonderful to give kids an introduction and hopefully a love for classic movies.

    What about the Witch Mountain series of movies?

    I am currently watching the TV series Heartland on Netflix with my daughter who just turned 13. It's a Canadian show, so if you live elsewhere, you might not be able to find it.

    I love Peter Pan, both movie & cartoon, The Last Airbender....

    This except the last airbender. I stopped watching the movie after 10 minutes into it. The cartoon was the bomb though!

    Aladdin is an all time fav
    Duck Tales
    Tom and Jerry cartoons are a must for any kid to watch. Heck its a must for most grown ups

    I dunno if you're asking for kid friendly only movies but yeah, thats all I got for kid friendly movies
