10 Animated Movies To Help Raise Kind Children

By Movieguide® Contributor

The Bible says in Epehesians 4:32, “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” Not only is kindness Biblical, but it’s crucial to instill a spirit of compassion in children so they will grow up to be kind adults. This curated list features animated movies where the characters demonstrate tender-heartedness. From familiar characters like Charlie Brown to classic fairytales such as BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, these flicks teach children the importance of being a good friend.
