Toy Story

Keep it. Jealousy named, loyalty learned. One of the few pictures a small child and a parent both need.

Woody's sin is ordinary and adult: he was first, and he thinks first is a right. Buzz's confusion is comic until it is sad. The film refuses both the cruelty of the replaced and the narcissism of the new. Sid's house is a genuine fear, and the escape is friendship, not a product speech. Andy's name on the foot is a picture of belonging that is particular. You are not loved in general. You are loved by name.

Put it on. When Woody says the true thing on the moving truck's running board, that is the line to keep. A friend is not a rank.

A Little Princess

Keep it. Imagination here is a way of telling the truth about a person's worth, not an escape from the attic.

Sara's kindness in the attic is the film's argument, and it is not cheap because the film lets her be hungry. Miss Minchin worships money and calls it standards. The other girls learn which authority is real. There is a softness to the ending that a strict reading of the book might resist, and the softness is a mercy for a child audience. The picture to keep is the one where she gives the bun away.

A young house can watch this whenever someone has started ranking the children. Rank is the villain.
