While you were off, Bree, we had a conversation about movies that the kids simply must watch from our childhood because my wife is slowly exposing my children to the classics. I got really upset because I was like, I feel like this is my domain. I'm a big fan of kids' movies.

I've watched them all and I have my favourites. And when I heard you guys did this without me, I was quite sad. The movie that kicked it all off that my wife, into the archives for was an Olson Twins classic It Takes 2. Yep. You've seen it? It's great. Great movie.

You approve? Yeah. It's a fantastic film. We're going to revisit this list because I know you've got a few. Yep. But the reason that I've brought it up again is because we've unearthed another classic over the weekend. And this is the beauty of having kids is you get to relive your childhood through the movies that you show them. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. I just watched them anyway. Oh, you've watched them anyway. Before I even had my son, I'd watch all the kids' movies. anyway. Well, the movie that kicked it off this weekend for us that we've unearthed and it is just as good as it was the first time around is Beethoven.

He'll tell us what he wants to be called. Big slobbery Beethoven. Giant St. Bernard Beethoven. We even watched Beethoven's second, the sequel. Which I'm going to go out on the limb here and say might actually be better than the original.

Whoa. That's a big call. It's very good. That's a huge call. So it's going on list for me. Bree, what do you think needs to go on this list of movies that the kids simply must watch? Do you want my whole list? Yeah, sure. I can run through them quick. Okay. How long is your list?

It's pretty long. Okay. I'm going to, but they're all worthy of being on the list and I think kids should, as a prerequisite, watch all of these things. I'm excited to see how many of these I've seen. Okay, yeah, good. Babe. Great.

Such a fantastic film. Magda Zabanski's in it. Yep. The main character is a pig. Coco, which is a newer animation. Okay, yeah. Such a good film. I tried to convince my daughter to watch that the other day.

It's very good. Yeah. Very good. One of my all-time favorite animation films, Big Hero Six. Oh, okay. We've got a bit of Big Hero Six here. Hello, I am Baymax, your personal healthcare companion. I was alerted to the need for medical attention when you said,

Ow. It's a 10 out of 10 film. You've got to watch it, yeah. This is one from the archives that I don't know if everyone would have seen. I bet you you haven't seen it, but it is a must watch movie The Sandlot. I said you shouldn't even be allowed to touch a baseball. Except for Rodriguez, you're all an insult to the game. Come on.

We'll take you on right here, right now. Come on. Sounds fun. It's honestly so good. Another one you need to watch is how to train your dragon. Such good movie. Okay, there, bud. We're going to take this nice and slow.

Here we go. Here we go. Position three, no, four. How to Train Your Dragon 2 is also very good. And I'm going to run through the rest of my real quick. Spirit, Brave, Zootopia 1 and 2, Sol, a Bug's Life, Bolt, Wreck-It Ralph, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Abominable, Smallfoot, the Good Dinosaur, Trolls, Over the Hedge, Light Year.

And some of honorable mentions, these are brand new this year, but you should watch them. They're fantastic kids' movies. Hoppers. It's such a good movie. It's out this year, very good. And the other one that was out this year that I think is very good is swapped. Okay.

Fantastic films. God, anyone would think you'd had children for more than four weeks. Four weeks. Right? I'm so excited. Thank God you've got a kid now so you can excuse all of your kids movie watching as, Oh, we're watching it for the boy. I stand by it.

They're fantastic movie. Play ZM's Brie and Clint on Insta, Facebook, TikTok and live weekdays from three on ZM.
