A dog’s way home is an American family adventure film directed by Charles Smith. The movie shows a puppy named Bella who loses her way and ends up on a 400-mile long journey before she unites with her owner Lucas. All along the way, she makes many more friends.

8. SHREK1&2
Hear me out, don’t trust anyone who doesn’t like Shrek. The movie is just perfect. There’s humour, it’s sad, it makes you laugh… it’s a whole package. Although Shrek 2 was a huge success than the first part, but who directly watches a sequel without watching the first part, am I right? In order to save his home, a monster (Mike Myers) with a donkey (Eddie Murphy) makes a deal with a mean lord to rescue a beautiful princess (Cameron Diaz).

If you want to let your kid know that horror movies exist but not scar them for life, this is the movie you are looking for.
