Animation for Kids 2002
All over the world superb, engaging, high quality animation is being produced for children. These films have all the things that kids love. There’s plenty of stories that place the kids as the heroes and heroines, some films that will bring on the giggles and some glimpses into far away places – both real and imagined – and some bits that are definitely gross!
