Open thread: What's the greatest-ever kids movie?

Just because a film is intended for children doesn't mean it has nothing to offer adults. In recent years Pixar's output has set a high benchmark with a string of well-loved films that have genuine cross-generational appeal, while older movies like The Wizard of Oz, Mary Poppins and Mac and Me (OK, maybe not so much Mac and Me) are watched and enjoyed by young and old audiences year after year.

It is, of course, a highly subjective question – but what is, for you, the one childrens' film that stands above all the others as truly exceptional? Let us know in the thread below.

We're also keen to hear about new films you've been watching. Here's what some @guardianfilm followers had to say about movies they'd seen recently:

@LedZeppJack

Killer Joe: Strong performances all round in this violent Southern gothic thriller by William Friedkin

@observealot

Killer Joe – Loud, brash, mean, and with plenty of style. However, its substance is as questionable as a bucket of KFC.

@daleyus

The Five-Year Engagement – Judd Apatow-lite taken up a notch by awesome performances by Jason Segel and Emily Blunt.

@ClairusDawsonus

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter – outstandingly awful, should've taken itself less seriously and played humour

@GreatException

Snow White: Dark with great visuals and excellent cameos, but let down by a lack of precision in its direction.

@iamnotwaynegale

God Bless America: A sublime slice of anarchy that fires up the brain cells whilst providing mindless hilarity.

@Citoyenne12

Moonrise Kingdom captures being young and pissed off with heartbreaking elegance
