Hollywood seems to have a bit of an obsession with the idea of kids with immense powers. It’s not hard to understand why, since family-oriented films have traditionally been some of the biggest money-makers for the Hollywood studios, particularly during the summer months.
As a result, there have been quite a few exciting films with kids as the stars over the past couple of decades, most of which have showcased the ways in which even young people can be the heroes of their own stories, doing all that they can to fight against the forces of evil and darkness.
10 The Incredibles
Pixar is one of those animation studios that seems to know the exact way to produce a film that manages to be both exciting and full of heart at the same time, and the result is a film like The Incredibles.
It’s impossible not to love the titular family with superpowers who are still trying to live a traditional suburban life in postwar America. As always with Pixar, the animation is top-notch, the voice acting is precise, and the plot keeps the viewer invested from start to finish.
9 Matilda
Who could ever forget Matilda, the film based on the novel of the same name by Roald Dahl?
The novelist’s books have had a bit of a checkered history when it comes to their translation to the big screen, but this one manages to do the original book justice, in no small part because of the performances of both Mara Wilson as Matilda and Danny DeVito as her father (DeVito also directed the film).
8 Harry Potter
There’s absolutely no doubt that Harry Potter has become one of the most successful children’s books in the history of publishing, and it’s equally unsurprising that the entire film franchise has also been enormously successful. Aside from everything else, the films are a testament to just how far special effects have come in the last couple of decades.
Through the power of filmmaking technologies, the viewer is thoroughly immersed in the exciting and dangerous world of wizardry.
7 Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children
Tim Burton is one of those directors who seems to have the ability to find both the right material and the right actors to bring his vision to life.
He seems to have found both in Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, since the book is very much the sort of thing that Burton has shown an affinity for in his career, and Eva Green is just the right kind of off-beat star to bring the titular character to brilliant life. It’s a typical young adult fantasy, and that means that it has a lot of excitement, from beginning to the end.
6 Kiki’s Delivery Service
Anyone who has seen a film from the famous Studio Ghibli knows that their films manage to capture a certain whimsy that one associates with both childhood and young adulthood.
There’s a certain manic energy to this film (which is fairly typical for films produced by this studio), and there’s no question that the young witch Kiki is an absolutely entrancing hero, one that the viewer can cheer for and identify with.
5 Midnight Special (2018)
Midnight Special is a rather fascinating film because it somehow manages to be both exciting and mysterious at the same time. It’s a simple story in some ways, about the bond between a father and a son. The wrinkle, of course, is that the son has special powers that make him vulnerable to those who want to take advantage of them.
The action keeps the viewer on the edge of their seat, always wondering what new aspect of the film’s central enigmas are going to be revealed next.
4 Ender’s Game
Ender’s Game, based on the novel of the same name by Orson Scott Card, is another film that manages to keep the spirit of the book while embarking on its own path (though it faced some challenges due to the public profile of the book’s author).
It manages to be action-packed, visually stunning (another testament to the ability of special effects to bring new worlds to visual life), as well as deeply and profoundly philosophical.
3 Moana
No one who has seen Moana could avoid falling under its spell. How could it be otherwise, when it manages to combine all of the typical Disney ingredients with a story that’s refreshingly new?
It certainly helps that the musical genius Lin-Manuel Miranda was responsible for the music in the film, imbuing its already-exciting plot with all of the verve and energy that everyone associates with him. And, of course, the animation is simply stunning.
2 Percy Jackson And The Olympians
It takes a particular sort of writing talent to make Greek mythology one of the most frequently used sources of stories, and do something new and exciting with it.
However, that’s precisely what Rick Riordan’s books do, and the film version of Percy Jackson and the Olympians manages to keep the spirit of the man’s books while also succeeding as a film. It’s an exciting adventure filled with all of the gods and goddesses that a person could ask for.
1 The Golden Compass
This film is a textbook case of what might have been. Based on Philip Pullman’s enormous trilogy of novels and following the girl Lyra, it seemed to have all of the makings of a blockbuster.
Unfortunately, a number of ill-advised creative choices robbed the film of much of the novel’s original bite, and it limped along at the box office. For all of that, it is actually quite a good film, with some truly beautiful special effects and strong performances, most notably from Nicole Kidman as the villainous and cunning Mrs. Coulter.
