1. The BFG (1989)
All of the films in this list are considered “classic” to me, but this one is especially so. Starring Sir David Jason (Only Fools and Horses, Open All Hours) as the titular character, The BFG is a really lovely family film that’s based off of the book by Roald Dahl. My favourite song from this film has to be “Sometimes Secretly”, it’s just so magical.
Fun fact: It is said that this film was one of, if not the only cinematic adaption of one of Roald Dahl’s books that he liked. Having died in 1990, it was also the last one he saw before we got Matilda (1996).
2. Thumbelina (1994)
I honestly just adore this film, I used to watch it religiously as a child. Jodie Benson (voice of Ariel, The Little Mermaid) is Thumbelina and provides some quality singing. The soundtrack of this film is amazing and extremely underrated. A bit cheesy here and there, but what classics aren’t.
3. Anastasia (1997)
This one is probably the most underrated and under appreciated of the lot. It’s brilliant. My favourite song is “Once Upon a December” because it’s just so beautiful. If you haven’t watched this film, do so, you’ve got time. It was also animated by the same company that made Thumbelina, Don Bluth Studios.
I hope you enjoyed my short list, keep your eyes peeled for more posts from the others!
