The two Frog and Toad shorts from the ‘80s are maybe great antidotes for that then. I think they’re on the Internet Archive and they’re great little bits of stop motion.

I’m biased because I’m running a Ghibli show right now but…Totoro and Kiki’s, Spirited Away for I’d say…6 or 7 up? Depends on the kid I guess for how scary that one would be haha
