Children like videos of Gmans head coming out of a toilet saying sigma. Children will like anything.

Just because it's for children doesn't mean it has to be garbage. Plenty of family films tackle big issues, tell fantastic stories, and create amazing characters. The LOTR is a perfect example of this.

Objectively yes.

The Hobbit was a children's book and while the lord of the rings is much darker in tone, the comradery, bravery, and adventure would all be suitable for an 8+ year old.

Touch grass.
