2. Deer Story animals always interest kids ^^ I watched the movie myself as a young kid but I can hardly remember it and don't know if there is anything triggering in the animal or human story

3. Return to the Wolves this is a documentary shot by the woman who raised a cub she found after overhearing that poachers had poisoned its mother. Beautiful, you learn a lot about the wolf and also  nature and people of rural China. You can find it subbed on YouTube. There is a follow-up filmed 10 years later but I haven't seen it myself and don't know where to find it.

4. To.Jenny short (2 episodes, movie-length), if I remember correctly totally harmless, romance with a very creative, inspiring protagonist creating the very catchy soundtrack * remembering and humming TIRASMISU CAKE🍰🫶🕺*

BONUS: I would always want to teach kids something and invite discussion - the following movie might be triggering as it also depicts violent repression (torture, death) of christians (including ML's daughter - and the protagonist, who had been neglecting his daughter for years, is not on her side...) but the importance of maps (for the weak and mighty) and the enormous efforts in creating it were depicted beautifully and memorable: The Map Against The World

5.  Rented in Finland -The world is a vast place & there are many ways to live (with or without modern conveniences).  What is happiness? Dreams can take you anywhere (like the potter from South Korea.)  Friendship, cultural customs, adaptation, self-awareness , etc. are just some of the topics to talk about. I truly appreciated the kindness & warmth shared by those participating in this series & would want my kid to gain that kind of global/friendly/helpful attitude.

6. all the kamen rider dramas - why not... Haha...

7. twinkling watermelon - hilarious scenes, sweet, meaningful, and lovely. also depends on their age, maybe 12-13 idk

8. The Ramen Shop - beautiful story about family, connections and past over present told through food (Ramen). from time to time I felt like I'm watching a documentary, but one of the meaningful ones that are here to show us the good resolutions life can give us, even if the way there can be hard.

9. Lion no Kakurega - although it's about difficult topic (domestic violence) I think how the show projected it was amazing, thoughtful and mindful with minimal graphics. and anyway I'd want them to watch this only for the dynamics between lion and the two brothers and for the beautiful representation of autism. 

10. One Piece (because: Nakama ;) it’s about friendships and to follow your dreams
