Kid hero movies
Mac and Me - goofy comedy there is violence and it comes across cartoonish. Pot an alien family is vacuumed up by a NASA drone. When the samples and the family are sent to Earth the aliens randomly me a kid who helps them run away from bad guys. This film has an enormous amount of product placement but it is a lot if fun.
See You Yesterday - trigger warning - death, violence, sad ending. Two kids are testing a time machine When their brother is killed they go back again and again trying to stop the killing. Very well acted great at story details.
Explorers - three kids make a space ship and go meet aliens that they talked to. Turns out The aliens stole their parents spacecraft. Fun movie. Now because our moves cut so fast this seamed slow on a rewatch. Still an enjoyable story.
Vampires vs. the Bronx - Vampires , death and gore. - Vampires are hipsters buying up property and gentrifying the area. Also, Vampires are killing people. Both kids and adults team up to fight back. I love this so much.
The Monster Squad - death not much blood. The classic monsters are working together and kids working with a holocaust survivor must banish them. Very quotable move ( you kicked Wolfman in the nards!) It is live action but has cartoonish and comic book style violence.
Attack the Block - lots of violence some death. - aliens come to take over the world and start with the poor side. The aliens lose big time.

Labyrinth- kidnapping, teenage girl has to save her brother from the goblin king. Beautiful movie. Well written and acted. Live action. Is like a fairy tale. enormously quotable.
The NeverEnding Story - death lots of death but not permanent for most people. This is a fantastic movie it will get every emotion out of you. It has a happy ending. I tell you so don't stop in the middle. It is live action but has lots of puppets. Plot because of lack of imagination everywhere is dieing. The nothing is killing everyone. Two young boys in different universe's must save everyone. Beautiful, well written and well acted.
My Science Project- death very little blood. Over the top. turn in a science project or flunk.So they steel some things from a military base slap things together and cross the time streams. It's fun and here for teenagers to be the smartest people in the room.

The Goonies - violence, - To get money and save their homes kisds set out on an adventure to find a legendary pirate's long-lost treasure.
Pippi Longstocking - live action the tv series or the movie. Pippi is a supper strong girl with magical thinking powers. It was all made for tv and is more like a bunch of short story anecdotes. She is the daughter of a pirate and is taking care of herself. She has some best friends and they go on adventures together.
The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles trigger warning violence and death-not every story is a happy one but mostly happy endings. A live-action tv series that is old Indy telling stories of his youth.
