Here you will find a list of age appropriate films for children around age 7 or older.

In this age range, you will find the movies/show/shorts are all fairly gentle, but conflict is becoming a larger part of the story. Bad guys are usually clear, although ‘twists’ with betrayal is possible. Most films end happily but there are occassionally sad moments such as death of a parent or friend. Peril for characters and uncertainty or tension tends toward full scenes rather than being very brief although it is mostly quickly resolved.

Most of the recommendations here are movies (defined as films over an hour), although there are also Shorts, (defined as a single contained movie of less than an hour length) or Series (defined as a string of episodes - which can be of any length, but are usually half an hour or an hour).

Generally, children at age seven still have attention spans which allow for full length films, although, depending on the pacing of the film, they may still not be able to sit still for an extended period.

All the films in this list are recommended - we don’t list anything that we would give a negative review for. So here are the best movie for your seven year old.
