Some children’s films are forgettable and formulaic, but the best of them (1)......... audiences of every age with intense cinematic experiences. ‘The great children’s films are the ones adults love too, that everybody loves,’ says Catherine Des Forges of the Independent Cinema Office. They really engage you. They make you laugh, they make you cry, they take you into their world and you come out thinking differently.’
So what are the qualities that (2)......... for truly great children’s cinema? All great children’s films have dynamic narratives, unforgettable characters and emotional power. Often, they deal with dark (3)......... matter – especially separation and the anxieties it entails. In many of these films, a young character is dramatically parted from an older, stronger protector – a wrenching scene that leaves audiences in (4)..........
‘If you think about the lives children (5).........,’ says Des Forges, ‘they’re influenced by a lot of the same things adults are, like bereavement and loss, loneliness and violence. I think the best children’s films deal with that in a way that’s comprehensible even to quite young audiences.’
Of course, great children’s cinema can move the mind (6)......... as the heart. Some deal with the biggest, most complex questions: Who are we? How do we know what we know? What’s our purpose and place in this world?
Humour is vital too, though it’s essential to avoid the kind of self-conscious irony which prevents an emotional response. The best ones work because we know that behind all the jokes, the main characters care about each other. (7)......... all, a great children’s film must have sincerity. It must say: ‘I want you to care about these characters.’
