To get the ball rolling, here are family movies I've been able to find PDF scripts for so far (I'll send the links to Scott directly): Back to the Future The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe (is this on our film list yet?) The Goonies Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban Holes Hook Labyrinth Raider of the Lost Ark Stuart Little 2

E.T. The Incredibles The Goonies Ghostbusters Finding Nemo Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Star Wars Home Alone The Karate Kid Toy Story

Actually, Back to the Future should have been on my list too. Classic.

Erica, do you happen to have links for any of those scripts? (If not, don't worry, I'll try to find them.) And which Karate Kid do you have in mind?

Anything by Pixar. THE LAND BEFORE TIME This is kind of a weird genre. There are movies that are "fit for the whole family," but the Family film kinda has its own unique vibe to it. They're generally "Coming of Age" stories. Like, WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT is kind of in this weird place. It's great for the family, but in terms of genre -- it's a parody of CHINATOWN (or really, it's Chinatown 3 with cartoons if ya wanna get technical :p) The new SPEED RACER I felt was a Family film. And I think that's why it got so heavily panned. People were expecting The Matrix -- hardcore action Scifi stuff. Instead they got this light-hearted romp and didn't know what to do with it. I don't consider NATIONAL TREASURE a family film, even though it was marketed as "fun for the whole family" and released over Thanksgiving. The genre walks this weird tightrope.

Wow, it's great to check in today and see so many suggestions rolling in. I have to confess I am having a hard time finding scripts online for this genre--partly because some of the classics are so old, partly because there aren't as many scripts for animated features online, and probably for a host of other reasons. The final list will only include scripts with links for those scripts, and I will do my best to track them down, but to increase the chances that your recommenations make the final cut, if you know where to find those scripts online PLEASE include the links in your comment. (You can include about 10 links in a comment before it gets wedged in the spam filter.)

> Anything by Pixar Sorry, James. That's too broad an order for me. If you'd like to provide links to some Pixar films, I'm happy to add them to the list, but I don't have time to chase them all down (busy week, sorry). > The genre walks this weird tightrope. Agreed! And there's clearly a huge potential gap between what gets marketed as a "family film" and what individual families will feel is appropriate for their children, too.
